Excerpt from A Compendium of the Chief Doctrines of the True Christian Religion: As Revealed in the Writings
The doctrines of the New and True Christian Re ligion having been published in a great variety of vo luminous writings, and many persons having express ed a desire to see them in an abridged form, not only for their own use, but for the benefit of others, who may be disposed to peruse a small Manual, when a larger work would fail to engage their attention; the Author of the following Compendium has endeavour ed to meet this wish of the Public, by bringing into as compact a form and order, as the nature and number of the subjec'ts treated of would permit, the principal doctrines of the New Jerusalem. And as the senti ments contained in it do not originate with him, but are those of divine'revelation itself, laid down in a clear and intelligible manner, he feels himself at li berty to recommend it as a work proper to be put in to'the hands of strangers, or of such as are desirous of obtaining a general knowledge of the doctrines pro fessed by the members of the New Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, based on the writings of 18th century theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, provides a comprehensive and systematic study of the key tenets of Christianity. It begins with the assumption of the unity of God and expounds on concepts such as the trinity, the divine essence, the origin of evil, the fall of man, the restoration of humanity through redemption, and the final judgment. The author asserts that Christianity is not simply a set of dogmas or rituals but a living faith that should be applied to everyday life. The theological system presented is not intended to replace the Bible but rather to provide a deeper understanding of its teachings. The author's insights offer a fresh perspective on some of the most profound truths of the Christian religion, helping readers to grasp the essential nature of God and the purpose of human existence.
