A Compendium of the Doctrines of Spiritual Christianity Collected From the Writings of the Hon. E. Swedenborg

Abraham Le Cras drawing on the spiritual principles unfolded in C. A. Tulk's work, "Spiritual Christianity Collected from the Theological Works of Emanuel Swedenborg," provides profound insights into the deeper meaning of the Gospel stories and the life of the Lord Jesus Christ in relation to human spiritual growth and development. The power of Swedenborg's Science of Correspondences in making the Biblical text relevant to the practical issues of regeneration comes to the fore in this work to provide a new way of understanding these age old texts. No longer a closed book the Bible is brought to life so as to reveal the conditions and states of mind involved in the journey truth takes within our minds to deliver us out of the hellish states of an ego-centric life into the heavenly experience of loving the Lord and the neighbour. Jesus said, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life." Jn 6:63, that spirit and that life lies beneath the literal text of the letter which serves merely as a body through which the wonders of the heavenly path can be found by every person who seeks the wisdom to love more effectively.
