True Christianity Volume 1 - The Deluxe New Century Edition

True Christianity was Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg's last published theological work, a systematic description of his view on the church in this world and the next. Interwoven with discussions of established Christian doctrine are many of his own experiences in heaven, creating a powerful vision of his hopes for the future of the church.

About the author

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, nobleman, and theologian who spent his life investigating the mysteries of the soul. Born in Stockholm to a staunchly Lutheran family, he graduated from the University of Uppsala and then traveled to England, Holland, France, and Germany to study with the leading scientists of the time. Between 1743 and 1745, he began to have visions of heaven, hell, and Jesus Christ, which resulted in a stream of books about the nature of God, the afterlife, and the inner meaning of the Bible. He devoted the last decades of his life to studying Scripture and presenting his own unique theology to the world.
