In "The New Church; What, How, Why," George Henry Dole presents a compelling exploration of the theological and practical dimensions of the New Church movement, stemming from the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg. The book is structured in a question-and-answer format, allowing for clarity in addressing the complexities of spiritual doctrines, liturgical practices, and community expectations. Dole's literary style is characterized by accessible prose intertwined with scholarly rigor, making the profound spiritual insights of Swedenborg relevant to contemporary readers. The work stands against a backdrop of 19th-century religious transformation, engaging with philosophical currents that underscore the quest for spiritual meaning amidst modernity. George Henry Dole, an eminent Swedenborgian scholar and minister, utilizes his extensive background in theology and philosophy to inform this insightful text. He dedicated decades to understanding Swedenborg'Äôs writings and beliefs, which inspired a deep commitment to clarifying the New Church's core principles for a broader audience. Dole's own experiences in educating parishioners and engaging with skeptics have imbued this work with an earnest desire to bridge the gap between spiritual inquiry and everyday life. This book is highly recommended for those seeking to deepen their understanding of New Church teachings, whether new to the subject or well-versed in Swedenborg's theology. Dole's engaging approach invites readers to reflect on essential questions about faith, community, and spiritual practice, prompting a transformative journey toward greater enlightenment.
