Excerpt from Sermons Illustrating the Doctrine of the Lord: And Other Fundamental Doctrines of the New-Jerusalem Church The writer of these sermons cannot give them publicity without disclaiming, on the very threshold, all credit for any truths which they may contain. All that belongs to him is some peculiarity in the presentation and illustration of the doctrines taught by Emanuel Swedenborg? who, he believes, was peculiarly qualified, and personally commanded by the Lord, to teach those doctrines to his church. He is even willing to think that what he calls his illustrations, may in fact be nothing more than tempering mediums of a too bright light. He hopes, however, that the spiritual objects seen through them will not be found to be distorted. If the light has been merely dimmed by the medium in which it is refracted, it is perhaps well; for our weak eyes, in taking altitudes, need to be defended from the sun's effulgence by coloured mediums. In short, these sermons are designed to be simply an index to the writings of Swedenborg, which contain "truths continuous from the Lord: " and the author hopes that the reader will go from the index to the bourn at which it points. In the works of that enlightened writer, every sincere seeker of truth, of all denominations, will find fuller information and far clearer illustration of the subjects discussed in this book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a unique interpretation of the tenets of the New Jerusalem Church, revealing the divine nature of Jesus Christ as the sole object of worship and exploring the implications of this belief. The author provides a comprehensive examination of the Trinity, arguing not for a trinity of separate divine existences, but for a threefold distinction in the essential constituents of the one Divine Being. Through meticulous scriptural analysis, the book delves into the concepts of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, revealing a divine trinity in one person. The author's insights provide a fresh perspective on Christian doctrine, inviting readers to reconsider the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, and the significance of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional understandings of the Trinity, offering a thought-provoking and deeply spiritual interpretation of the Christian faith.
