Book Description
Excerpt from The Heavenly Doctrine of the Lord When, therefore, we have learned what any system Of theology teaches concerning the supreme Object of worship, we have mastered the central idea or doctrine Of that system; and from this we may draw a pretty just conclusion in regard to all the rest. For when the central doctrine is wrong, the others growing out of it, adjusted to it, modified and colored by it, cannot be right; and when this is right, the others cannot be very far wrong.

Book Description
Excerpt from The New Jerusalem, and Its Heavenly Doctrine: From Things Heard Out of Heaven; To Which Is Prefixed Something Concerning the New Heaven and the New Earth Destruction of Babylon, 11. 33 - 39, and further. N ow since the churches in the Christian world had distinguished themselves only by such things as are of faith, - and still there is no faith where there is not charity, - I therefore wish to premise here be fore the Doctrine itself some things concerning the Doctrine of Charity with the Ancients. It is said, the Churches in the Christian world; and by them are meant the churches with the Reformed or the Evan gelical, but not with the Papists; since the Christian church is not there: for, where the church is, there the lord is adored, and the word is read. With them it is otherwise: there themselves are adored instead of the lord, and the word is forbidden to be read by the people; and the dictum of the pope is put equal to it; yea, above it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine: As Revealed From Heaven; Translated From the Latin Doctrine not only teaches this, but innumerable things beside, of which not a thousandth part is known at this day. The whole sacred scripture is nothing else than the doctrine of love and charity, which the Lord also teaches, saying, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and in thy whole soul, and in thy whole mind; this is the primary and great commandment; the second is like unto it; thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Heavenly Session of Our Lord: An Introduction to the History of the Doctrine It was the desire to Verify the closing words of this statement that first prompted the study the results of which are set forth in this book. Additional incentive was given by a remark of a friend to the effect that the words Of the Creed, He sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, had no moral content for him. That remark also led to an enlargement of the scope of the inquiry, so that the objective which I set before myself became the discovery of the opinions which had been held as to the significance in general of the Session Of our Lord at the right hand of the Father, and not merely as to the nature and mode of His heavenly Intercession.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of God That the kingdom of God or of heaven proclaimed by Jesus is a fellowship of men, appears not only from the natural import of the word kingdom, but from such expressions as, least in the kingdom, great in the kingdom (matt. V. 19, xviii. Of such is the kingdom, he shall in no wise enter therein (mark x. I4, I etc. That in it the highest morality is obeyed, is clear from the Sermon on the Mount (matt. V. - vii. Luke Vi. 20 - 42) and the whole tenor of our Lord's teaching; and that it is done as the will of God, appears from the phrase kingdom, which often means reign, of its being joined in the Lord's Prayer with the doing of His will (matt. Vi. And from the many parables in which God is represented as a King, a Master, a Householder, a Shepherd, a Father, a Judge (matt. Xx. 1, xxii. 2, XXV. I4, 34; Luke xv. 4, II, xvii. 7, Finally, it is plain that it includes the highest blessedness since it is to be sought as the chief good (matt. Vi. 33 Luke xii. 32) is com pared to a treasure, or pearl of great price (matt. Xiii. 44 and is the final reward of the righteous (matt. Xiii. 43, xxv. As well as the beginning and the end of their blessedness here (matt. V. 3, 10; Luke vi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Ages The substance of this book, in all of its essen tial features, was carefully read by the late Dr. A. J. Gordon, in manuscript. He urged its immediate publication, and consented to write an introduction to its pages. Before the closing chapters were completed he had passed away from his useful life. On this account his name has no connection with the book, further than this grateful acknowledgment of his encouraging words. The learned Dr. Harnack, in his History of Dogma, when speaking of the Christian's faith in God as the father of Jesus Christ, makes the following comprehensive statement So far as this God is believed to be the omnipotent Lord of heaven and earth, the Christian religion includes a knowledge of God, of the world, and of the purpose of created things. These three spheres, then, are the proper objects of our contemplation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Of the New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine, as Revealed From Heaven: To Which Are Prefixed Some Observations Concerning the New Heaven and the New Earth 11. All things in the universe, which are according to di vine order, have relation to good and truth. Nothing exists in heaven, and nothing in the world, which does not relate to these two. The reason is, because both, as well good as truth, proceed from the Divine, from whom are all things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
