The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem from the Commandments of the Decalogue (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of religion and morality, this work by Emanuel Swedenborg delves into the essence of true goodness and its relationship to spiritual life. Swedenborg argues that genuine good deeds stem not from oneself but from a higher divine source. He emphasizes the importance of shunning evils as sins, linking moral behavior to love for truth and faith. The text also discusses the Decalogue's guidance on identifying and avoiding various sins, illustrating how love for one's neighbor and virtues like chastity and sincerity arise from this moral framework.
