INTRODUCTORY OBSERVATIONS. xv.
specially enlightened to communicate the discoveries of
Divine Truth necessary to be made at the commencement
of the New Jerusalem.
His theological writings may be divided into four
general classes : we will here add a slight notice of the
character of them all.
We will consider his doctrinal works, as constituting
the first class of his writings. To this class, then,
appertain, 1. The small volume " On the New Jerusalem
and its Heavenly Doctrine." This is a purely doctrinal
work, embracing a great variety of subjects, but treating
them with brevity, yet in the most luminous manner.
2. The next of the author’s publications of the same
character, is the other work mentioned above, in which
the four leading doctrines of all genuine religion,—those
relating to the Lord, the Scriptures, Faith, and Life, are
copiously treated, and with a weight of evidence which
most of those who have read them have found irresistible.
3. In the "Brief Exposition of the Doctrine of the
New Church," intended as an introduction to the work
next mentioned, the doctrines generally admitted both
among the Romanists and Protestants are contrasted with
those of the New Church, and their fallacies pointed out,
in a very powerful and striking manner. 4. His last
work, the " True Christian Religion, or Universal
Theology of the New Church, signified by the New
Jerusalem in the Revelation," is, as its title implies, a
complete body of divinity : it therefore embraces all the
subjects which are treated of in No. 2 above, with many
others, all which are elucidated at considerable length.
