Though many think of Christianity as an extremely old religious movement) this work argues that in fact true Christianity has yet to be born. True Christianity presents a satisfying and sensible alternative to mainstream Christianity. The last book published by Emanuel Swedenborg, it serves as both the keystone in the architecture of his theology and the summary of his far-reaching psychological insights. This volume, the second of two, celebrates human free will, lays out detailed practical and sacramental steps to rebirth, and hints at a glorious future for the world, in which God and humankind draw closer to each other than ever before. As SwedenborgÆs crowning achievement, True Christianity is unique. Its revolutionary exploration of spiritual topics is presented in a luminously clear and ordered style, bolstered with a wealth of biblical quotations; yet interwoven into its careful structure is an unprecedented abundance of humor, imagery, analogies, and accounts of SwedenborgÆs experiences in the spiritual world. The New Century Edition version of this work centers on a fresh, vigorous, and nuanced English translation by Jonathan S. Rose, editor of the series.


SwedenborgÆs fascinating digest of his own spiritual experiences, helpful explanatory annotations by an array of scholars, and abundant indexes round out this indispensable volume. For the author's own, more detailed table of contents, see pages 414-436. Book jacket.
