In this section:

There are two introductory courses.

The first, called Insights to the Bible, is a brief overview of the Bible through Swedenborgian spectacles.

This course is intended to help give you a broad brush picture of the flow and contents of the Holy Bible, and the way in which the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg help to view the Word of God contained in the Bible. It is designed for anyone who is searching for an alternative insight to the message of the Bible and an introduction to Swedenborgian teaching about it.

The second course is An Introduction to Swedenborgian Thought. This course is intended to help you:

See the Lord as the source of all life;
Understand how the Lord works constantly with us, even when we are not aware of it;
Have an overview of the spiritual world, and how we get there;
Have an outline understanding of the basic principles of Divine Providence;
Have some outline information on the New Jerusalem, which is the Lord’s New Church.

If studied, each of these courses will earn a quarter credit towards a Level 1 award.
