Excerpt from The True Catholicism: Revealing the Breadth and Comprehensiveness of the New Christian Church To present a clear idea of this Catholicism, and to illustrate the subject by copious extracts from the Writings of the divinely illumined Sweden borg, is the main purpose of the present work. And the author cannot doubt that it will meet with a cordial response from all those who have caught something of the loving, large and catholic spirit of the Divine Master, and who are seeking to imbue the hearts of others with this same spirit. But bigots of whatever name or creed, all nar row-minded and conceited sectaries to whatever church-organization they may belong, all who are strongly wedded to the faith-alone or doctrine-alone theory, and who doubt about the salvation of anywho do not think or believe very nearly if not pre cisely as they do - all such will read this book with no interest and derive from it no satisfaction. Very few of this class will deem it worth reading at all; and most of them, if they attempt to read it, will probably turn from it with disgust and loathing before they shall have reached the sixth chapter. But it is confidently believed that the book will receive a warm welcome from all broad-minded and open-hearted Christians; and the author humbly trusts it may encourage and strengthen them in their efforts to promote a larger tolera tion, a truer charity and a higher unity than has hitherto prevailed; and possibly lead some to a careful investigation of the Writings so often quoted and so highly commended in these pages.
