The book ""The Creeds of Athanasius, Sabellius and Swedenborg, Examined and Compared With Each Other"" by Augustus Clissold is a comprehensive study of three important creeds in Christianity. The author examines the Athanasian Creed, which is a statement of Christian belief that emphasizes the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus Christ. He also analyzes the Sabellian Creed, which was developed by a group of Christians who rejected the idea of three distinct persons in the Trinity and believed that God was one person with three different modes or manifestations. Finally, Clissold examines the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century theologian who claimed to have received divine revelations that led him to a new understanding of Christianity.Throughout the book, Clissold compares and contrasts these three creeds, highlighting their similarities and differences. He explores the historical context in which each creed was developed, as well as the theological implications of each. The author also provides his own commentary on each creed, offering insights into their meaning and significance.This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of Christianity. It provides a detailed analysis of three important creeds, shedding light on the beliefs and practices of early Christians and their successors. Whether you are a scholar, a theologian, or simply a curious reader, ""The Creeds of Athanasius, Sabellius and Swedenborg"" is sure to deepen your understanding of Christian doctrine and tradition.1873. Swedenborg was an inventor, a scientist, a civil servant, and a philosopher before he accepted God's call to be a rational revelator during the Age of Enlightenment. While Swedenborg's genius may be found in all his works, it is his claim to be a revelator, and his spiritual vision, which truly set him apart. Historically it has been this claim which has attracted interest in him; and it is his theological writings that have been the source of his greatest influence. Swedenborg stands apart from other revelators because of the means through which he received revelation, its substance, and the process of its transmission. In this tract, Clissold, a Swedenborgian, examines how the doctrines of Atanasius and Sabellius relate to those of Swedenborg.
