Description: The True Christian Religion Containing The Universal Theology of the New Church Foretold by the Lord in Daniel Vii. 13, 14; and in Revelation xxi. 1,2, In Two Volumesby Emanuel Swedenborg In Two Volumes, complete. 1975 The Swedenborg Society (London), two 5 3/8 x 8 3/8 inches tall green paperbound volumes in green pattern covers, gilt design and lettering to front covers and spines, xxiii, 972 pp. plus errata sheet laid in. Very sight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers. California Swedenborg Bookroom labels to bottom margin of titles pages. Otherwise, apart from a couple of pages with marginal tick marks and a few creased page tips, a very good set - clean, bright and unmarked - of this important final published work of Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). In the fourteen chapters of this work, Swedenborg presents his theological views against the backdrop of, and in contrast to, key concepts in Protestant Christianity, such as the nature of God and of the Trinity; how and why Jesus redeemed the human race; the nature of the Bible; the multilayered meanings of the Ten Commandments; how faith and good works contribute to salvation; the true nature and purpose of baptism and Holy Supper (Communion); and the Last Judgment, the Second Coming, and the descent of the New Jerusalem. It includes Swedenborg’s most extended and practice-oriented discussion of how to undertake effective repentance from sin. The tone of the work is often blunt and confrontational and, when it resorts to reducing opposing arguments to absurdity, devastatingly biting and witty. It is recommended for those with a particular interest in exploring Swedenborg’s theological views and seeing the biblical support he offers for them. It also includes extensive accounts of Swedenborg’s spiritual experiences.
