Summary

An accessible overview of Swedenborgian thought -- a theology that "makes sense", Douglas Taylor's book explains the concepts of Creator as the Redeemer, the spiritual world, redemption, and the Trinity. Taylor looks at personal morality in Swedenborgian terms, addressing such concerns as what is "saving" faith, what is the nature of evil, how to escape from evil feelings, and why we must take responsibility for our actions.
