Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Practical Nature of the Doctrines and Alleged Revelations: Contained in the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg In the "Essays on some of the peculiarities of the Christian Religion," by His Grace the present Archbishop of Dublin, occurs the following passage relative to the receivers of the writings of Swedenborg: - "Though his followers insist much on the importance of believing in this pretended revelation, it would, I believe, be difficult for them to state even any one point on which a man is called upon to alter either his conduct, his motives, or his moral sentiments, in consequence of such belief. The system furnishes abundant matter of faith and food for curiosity, but has little or no intelligible reference to practice." In this statement there appears to be a slight obscurity. It might not, perhaps, be easy at first to determine whether the passage implied, that there was no difference between the practical principles of Swedenborg and those commonly received, or that, as a whole, his writings had little or no intelligible reference to any practice whatever. A gentleman, it appears, conceiving that the latter was meant, wrote to the Archbishop to the effect, that he presumed His Grace labored under some misapprehension; for that, so far from having no intelligible reference to practice, the writings of Swedenborg advocated principles which many distinguished members of the Church of England themselves acknowledged to be practical. So far as the argument went, it appears to be just and appropriate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
