Our mission is to preserve New Church audio recordings and make them available to all. We provide audiobooks of works by Emanuel Swedenborg, recordings of New Church sermons, Swedenborgian classes, and more. These offer opportunities for Bible study and spiritual growth, exploring Biblical symbolism and New Church theology.
New Church Audio is a program of The New Church, an international Christian organization.
The New Church is a Christian denomination based on the Bible and the revelation given to Emanuel Swedenborg. We believe that true faith is loving the Lord Jesus Christ by following his teachings and being of service to others.
Description: We're taught that music in this world is of a spiritual origin. This explains why a beautiful piece of music can stir us so deeply and change our mood. It also explains why David's harp playing drove away King Saul's distressing spirit - evil in all its forms flees from the "sound" of truth and goodness (AR 276). To live in harmony with the Lord and our neighbor is to place ourselves in harmony with love, mercy and forgiveness, with the music (teachings ) of the Word.
