True Christian Religion was the last work published by Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). In it, he summarizes his theological thought and gives his vision for how the Christian church and -- and should -- function in the coming age.In the second volume, Swedenborg discusses the spiritual necessity of freedom of choice; repentance and how it leads to reformation and ultimately spiritual rebirth; the relationship between faith and Christ as redeemer; and sacraments such as baptism and the Holy Supper (Communion). He concludes with a description of the coming "New Church" which will herald a new age of spiritual understanding for humankind.This edition is a reprint of a 1914 translation by John C. Ager.
