Description

Description from Internet Archive (opens in a new tab)

True Christian Religion presents Swedenborg’s theological vision of a universal faith based on spiritual insight, inner transformation, and direct communion with God. In this final major theological treatise, Swedenborg outlines his doctrine of the Trinity, the nature of heaven and hell, and the process of salvation through love and charity. He also critiques traditional Christianity and proposes a renewed understanding of scripture and the afterlife. This edition preserves the original philosophical depth while making Swedenborg’s esoteric teachings accessible to modern readers.
