Block’s book is the most definitive – and readable – history of the organized “Swedenborgian” church or “New Church” up to the time of its publication in 1932. However, many of the issues of doctrine and church politics it reviews are still current (e.g. see Do We Need Church Organizations? or So Who Should Run the Church?)
