In Our Society, originally published in London, 1882, James Spilling grapples with the question of how to put the new wine of the Christian teachings of the New Jerusalem expounded by Emanuel Swedenborg into new ecclesiastical bottles, instead of simply pouring them into the old bottles of established church buildings, clerical hierarchies, liturgies, and practices. Along the way he delivers many a fine exposition of Swedenborg's teachings about God, the Bible, and the life that leads to heaven. And of course, there's a young couple in love! This classic didactic novel is a pleasure to read for those interested in New Church teaching and nineteenth century period pieces. This edition is based on a fresh scan of the 1882 first edition, edited and typeset by Lee Woofenden. It includes reproductions of the original woodcut ornaments (print version only).
