New Church Life

New Church Life is a monthly magazine devoted to the teachings revealed through Emanuel Swedenborg. It is the official journal of the General Church of the New Jerusalem and has been published continuously since 1881. The magazine typically includes sermons, doctrinal articles, reviews of Church literature, communications, and official announcements from the church, including a bi-annual listing of contacts for worship and classes held by the General Church throughout the world.

Because it has been published for over 100 years, New Church Life is valued by many readers as a resource for study of the doctrinal thought of the church and as a repository of information on the history of the church organization.

While the magazine is of special interest to church members, anyone interested in the teachings revealed through Emanuel Swedenborg will find New Church Life a stimulating source of discussion about doctrine and life from a New Church perspective.
