The New Church
Ideas That Work
by. Rev. Erik Buss
"Now it is permitted to enter with understanding into the mysteries of
faith."
Emanual Swedenborg
True Christian Religion, 1771
The New Church is based on the Bible and on the Writings of Emanuel
Swedenborg. Swedenborg wrote about the meaning of the Bible, life after
death, what God is like, and many other topics. He was a noted scientist
and philosopher, whose theological writings have affected people such as
Carl Jung, Thomas Carlyle, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Howard Pyle, Czeslaw
Milosz, Helen Keller, Jorge Luis Borges, and William Blake.
