Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of the New Church, Vol. 1: With a Chronological Account of the Life of Emanuel Swedenborg, 1688-1850 The History of the Lord´s New Church, the Church of the New Jerusalem, has not yet been written, nor can it be written until the facts of her past experience have been collected. These facts lie hidden, at present, in several thousand different volumes published in many different tongues, distributed in widely distant libraries, and thus inaccessible to the general student. Before a philosophical and yet exact History of the New Church can be written, these scattered and imprisoned facts must be brought together, in order that the historian or historians of the Church may have the necessary materials at hand. The stones must be procured before the building can be erected. An attempt to supply this want of proper materials for New Church History has been made by the compilation of the present "Annals of the New Church." Let it be well understood, that the "Annals" do not pretend to be a History of this Church. It is simply a work of reference, "rudis indigestaque moles" a mass of materials, roughly arranged in chonological order, and drawn only from the public and printed records of the Church. They present merely the corporeal part of New Church History. The "spirit" within the bare facts will be found in the private, unpublished letters, which are or will be preserved in the archives of the Church. The "Annals," though the fruit of long-continued and extensive researches, favored by exceptional advantages and opportunities, do not claim any absolute exhaustiveness or perfection. Much, we fear, has been omitted, and many errors will undoubtedly be found. The plan of the compiler has been to collect authentic, referable and impartial information as to the following general subjects: I. The facts connected with the life and work of Emanuel Swedenborg.
