The New Church and Spiritism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428634268)

The New Church and Spiritism is a book written by Chauncey Giles that explores the relationship between the New Church and the Spiritualist movement. The New Church, also known as the Swedenborgian Church, is a Christian denomination that was founded on the teachings of the Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. The Spiritualist movement, on the other hand, is a belief system that emerged in the 19th century and is based on the idea that spirits of the dead can communicate with the living.In this book, Giles examines the similarities and differences between these two belief systems and argues that they are not mutually exclusive. He explores the teachings of Swedenborg and how they relate to the Spiritualist movement, as well as the role of mediums and spiritual communication in both the New Church and Spiritualism.Giles also provides historical context for both the New Church and Spiritualism, discussing their origins and development. He examines the impact that these belief systems had on society and how they influenced the spiritual and religious landscape of the time.Overall, The New Church and Spiritism is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between two important religious movements and provides insight into the intersection of spirituality and communication with the dead.Swedenborgian Writings From The Rev.
