True Christian Religion was the last work published by Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688—1772). In it, he summarizes his theological thought and gives his vision for how the Christian church and — and should — function in the coming age.In the second volume, Swedenborg discusses the spiritual necessity of freedom of choice; repentance and how it leads to reformation and ultimately spiritual rebirth; the relationship between faith and Christ as redeemer; and sacraments such as baptism and the Holy Supper (Communion). He concludes with a description of the coming "New Church" which will herald a new age of spiritual understanding for humankind. This edition is a reprint of a 1914 translation by John C. Ager.
