Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Doctrines of the New Church Briefly Explained
To supply this need, has been the author's main purpose in the preparation of the present volume. The questions are often asked, What does the New Church believe and teach? And wherein. Do its doctrines differ from those of other churches? This little work Will be found to contain true and intelligible answers to these inquiries.
The expositions have, for the most part, been necessarily brief; but the reader, who may wish to pursue the inquiry, is repeatedly referred to other works, wherein the same subjects are treated more extensively, and with rational and Scriptural evidence of what is believed to be the truth of the New Church views herein presented.
For the purpose of showing the need of some such new revelation as that claimed to have been made through Swedenborg, the author has taken occasion to contrast the Old with the New view on many subjects; but in doing this, he has been careful to present the view which was generally accepted in Swedenborg's day, - well knowing that the Old Theology has, in many respects, been considerably modified by the quiet but constantly pervading influence of the New so that many of the New views are now held by the most advanced Christians in nearly all the churches, often with out a suspicion of the fact that they are New.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the central doctrines of the New Church, a new dispensation of religious truth claimed to have been revealed through Emanuel Swedenborg. The author sought to lay open the spiritual sense of the Divine Word and simultaneously reveal the realities of the spiritual world. This book lays out a central doctrine that God as the Divine Being is innite in wisdom, tenderness, mercy, and love; He is love itself and the source of all love in heaven and on earth. God is not a partial, unjust, selsh or vindictive Being, rather He is an ever-present, loving Father, full of tender, patient love. Seeking the highest good of all creatures, He has pursued our race through ages past, guiding it with wisdom and undiminished love. The author argues that his love is altogether unselsh in nature, eternally seeking the welfare of others and finding its delight in imparting itself and its joys. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
