E-text prepared by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Diane Monico, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Gist of Swedenborg" by Emanuel Swedenborg is a theological compilation that was put together in the early 20th century, specifically in 1920. This book distills the essential teachings of Swedenborg, who was known for his profound religious insights and writings encompassing numerous volumes over his lifetime. The text likely focuses on the spiritual principles underlying Swedenborg's thought, such as the nature of God, human existence, moral regeneration, and the afterlife. In this compilation, readers will find a systematic presentation of Swedenborg’s interpretations of Christian doctrines, emphasizing the importance of love, charity, and faith. It outlines Swedenborg’s views on the nature of God, the human condition, the process of spiritual regeneration, and the roles of the Church and Sacred Scriptures. Each principle is carefully connected to his ultimate vision of a new religious awakening that transcends conventional beliefs, proposing that true understanding comes from living a life aligned with divine love and truth. The book serves as an accessible entry point into Swedenborg's rich theological legacy, making complex ideas comprehensible to a wider audience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
