How Does Faith Save Us? The Key Factor Found in Survey

In March of 1769 Swedenborg wrote to his friend, Dr. Gabriel Beyer that the New Church “will come little by little, as the doctrine of Justification and Imputation is uprooted, which will likely be done by this treatise.” The treatise in reference is the work Survey. If those doctrines are to be uprooted, what is Swedenborg arguing should be put in their place? We dig into Survey to find out. 

We have the gift of using the unpublished NCE translations Survey in this episode. You can get your hands on them when the NCE translation of Survey comes out in 2022!

★☆★ABOUT★☆★

"Inside Off The Left Eye" is an original podcast offering by the Off The Left Eye team with new material every week coming to you on Sundays, hosted by Chelsea Odhner. We study the historical context of Emanuel Swedenborg's (1688-1772) life and works and share fresh insights from the New Century Edition translation of Swedenborg's theological works. Joined by translator and Series Editor Dr. Jonathan Rose and Off The Left Eye host and personality Curtis Childs, we follow threads into the past, discovering that what we find often is eminently relevant to the present.

Inside Off The Left Eye is a project of the Swedenborg Foundation—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, independent, educational organization for those seeking to explore spirituality and faith. Learn more at www.swedenborg.com.
