Swedenborg’s books

New Church beliefs are founded in the Word of God in the Old and New Testaments, and provide new insight into its meaning.

Emanuel Swedenborg, an eighteenth century theologian and scientist, provided a framework for understanding the Bible's internal meaning, as well as writing many additional volumes which shed light on why we're here and how to develop a functional relationship with God.
