Opis

"True Christianity" presents a satisfying and sensible alternative to mainstream Christianity. The last book published by Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg, it serves as both the keystone in the architecture of his theology and the summary of his far-reaching psychological insights. This volume, the first of two, provides unique answers to humankind s perennial questions about the nature of God and about Jesus not only what his purpose was and how he fulfilled it, but why his life and death are still relevant to us now.

This volume features an introduction by R. Guy Erwin of California Lutheran University setting the work in its theological and historical context.The New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg is a modern-language, scholarly translation of Swedenborg s theological works. The series easy-to-read style retains the dignity, variety, clarity, and gender-inclusive language of Swedenborg s original Latin, bringing his thought to life. Introductions and annotations by eminent, international scholars place Swedenborg s writings in their historical context and illuminate obscure references within the text, enabling readers to understand and trace Swedenborg s influence as never before."
