Four Leading Doctrines of the New Church

The book ""Four Leading Doctrines of the New Church"" by Emanuel Swedenborg is a theological work that explores the fundamental beliefs of the New Church. The New Church is a Christian denomination that was founded based on the teachings of Swedenborg, who claimed to have received divine revelations. The book is divided into four main sections, each of which explores a different doctrine of the New Church. The first section discusses the doctrine of the Lord, which asserts that Jesus Christ is the one true God and that he is present in all aspects of creation. The second section explores the doctrine of the Sacred Scripture, which teaches that the Bible contains a deeper spiritual meaning that can only be understood through the lens of the New Church's teachings. The third section delves into the doctrine of life, which emphasizes the importance of living a good and virtuous life in order to achieve salvation. Finally, the fourth section discusses the doctrine of faith, which asserts that true faith is not just a matter of belief, but also involves living in accordance with God's will. Throughout the book, Swedenborg draws on his own experiences and insights to provide a detailed and comprehensive explanation of each doctrine. He also provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he is discussing. Overall, ""Four Leading Doctrines of the New Church"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on Christian theology. It will be of interest to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the New Church's teachings or to explore new ideas in the realm of religious thought.1909.
