My Essential Doctrines
Beschrijving van het boek
This is the annotated edition including a very detailed biography about Swedenborg, his life and his writings.
The grand and distinctive principle of Swedenborgian theology, next to the doctrine of the divine humanity, is the doctrine of life. God alone lives. Creation is dead — man is dead; and their apparent life is the divine presence. God is everywhere the same. It fallaciously appears as if He were different in one man and in another. The difference is in the recipients; by one He is not received in the same degree as another.
