{"product_id":"the-lord-emanuel-swedenborg-9780877854128","title":"The Lord","description":"Since the dawn of Christianity, there has been debate about the true nature of Jesus Christ. Was he a divinely inspired person or the incarnation of God on earth?\u003cbr\u003e In his short work \u003ci\u003eThe Lord\u003c\/i\u003e, Swedenborg presents an answer to the time-honored question of how Jesus and God are related: he argues that they became in every way one and the same. Throughout his works Swedenborg uses the term \"Lord\" to refer to Jesus as the embodiment of God. In this work he emphasizes that the traditional trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit should be thought of not as three separate divine Persons that have always coexisted but as three aspects now present within one divine Person--Jesus in his resurrection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Lord\u003c\/i\u003e also touches upon key themes in Swedenborg's theology: the spiritual reasons why the Lord came to earth; the significance of the death and resurrection of his human form; and the ways in which his coming was foretold in the Old Testament. Throughout the book, Swedenborg provides extensive biblical references to support his arguments. He concludes with a brief chapter describing the New Jerusalem, a reference to both the city described in the book of Revelation and the new spiritual age that is now unfolding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Lord\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg (NCE), an ongoing translation series. The NCE series incorporates the latest scholarship and translation standards for a more accurate and accessible rendering of Swedenborg's works. Traditionally titled \u003ci\u003eThe Doctrine of the Lord\u003c\/i\u003e, this short work is often published together with three other short works--\u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFaith\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSacred Scripture\u003c\/i\u003e--under the title \u003ci\u003eThe Four Doctrines\u003c\/i\u003e. The Swedenborg Foundation will publish these four titles together in the forthcoming NCE hardcover annotated volume \u003ci\u003eThe Shorter Works of 1763\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emanuel Swedenborg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877854122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877854128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Century Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Emanuel Swedenborg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072864350463,"sku":"9780877854128","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28c8f677-182a-4f90-a1c0-10b20c1455a4.jpg?v=1685444385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lord-emanuel-swedenborg-9780877854128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
