CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
"PART I: 1. The Lord God the Saviour, and the Divine Trinity
in Him. 2. The Sacred Scripture and its two senses, the Natural
and the Spiritual, and its Sanctity thence. 3. Love to God and love
towards the neighbour, and their agreement with one another.
4. Faith and its conjunction with these two loves. 5. The doctrine
of life, from the Commandments of the Decalogue. 6. Reformation
and Regeneration. 7. Free-will, and man’s coöperation with the
Lord thereby. 8. Baptism. 9. The Holy Supper. 10. Heaven and
Hell. 11. Man’s Conjunction therewith, and the State of Man’s Life
after Death according to that Conjunction. 12. Eternal Life.
"PART II : 1. The Consummation of the Age, or the End of the
present Church. 2. The Coming of the Lord. 3. The Last Judgment.
4. The New Church which is the New Jerusalem.
"PART III: The disagreements between the dogmas of the present
Church, and those of the New Church."
When this plan came to be executed, Part III, which had
already been treated upon in the "Brief Exposition," was omitted;
nos. 10-12 in Part I, and no. 3 in Part III were likewise omitted,
and the remaining portions of the two parts were merged into the
treatise known as the "True Christian Religion" consisting of fourteen
chapters or sections.
As regards the work itself, it is a grand digest of all the doctrinal
teachings hitherto published by the author, with additions on such
points as had not heretofore been thoroughly treated. The works
on which the author mainly drew for contributions are the "Four
Leading Doctrines" (nos. 116-119), and the "New Jerusalem and
its Heavenly Doctrine" (no. 103). From the "Doctrine of the Sacred
Scripture" is derived almost the whole of the chapter on the Sacred
Scripture, extending from nos. 189-276; from the "Doctrine of Life”
are drawn nos. 282-286 ; from the "Doctrine of the Lord," nos. 157,
262, 288 ; and from the "Heavenly Doctrine," nos. 397-406. "Divine
Love and Wisdom" again has furnished nos. 12 and 30 ; and "Divine
Providence," no. 203. From the "Continuation concerning the Last
Judgment" (no. 120) are taken many particulars concerning the
state of the various nations in the spiritual world (nos. 800-845),
and the "Apocalypse Revealed" and "Conjugial Love" have furnished
many of the Memorable Relations; in fact out of the seventy-nine
Memorable Relations which are contained in the "True Christian
Religion," twenty-four had previously appeared in the "Apocalypse
Revealed," and twenty-three in the "Conjugial Love."
In respect to the time of composition of the present work we
learn in no. 791 that it was finished on June 19, 1770 ; and as the
