The Foundation also happily reports that its Heaven and Hell Facebook
page has passed 300,000 “likes,” and that every week about 500,000
people see a quote from Swedenborg in their Facebook feed. (Go to www.

The Foundation’s website – www.swedenborg.com – also has been designed
to make it easier for visitors to find the information they want.
the new christian bible study project
The latest news from the New Christian Bible Study project notes:
“This project is global. It’s growing fast. It’s taking advantage of two key
things:
• Hundreds of millions of people read the Word and are trying to
understand its meaning
• The Writings explain the meaning
“If we make a top-notch Bible study site, and we present the Writings
clearly, they’re going to resonate with a lot of people. That’s the idea. Is it
working? Yes.”
Rapid growth in web traffic includes almost 40,000 visitors a month, more
than doubling last year. The site includes 82 Bible translations. The Writings
are in English and Latin, with some works in Spanish, French, Portuguese,
Korean, Swedish and Norwegian, with more to come. The site also includes 450
pieces of art and photographs, and more than 200 Bible story explanations. It is
partnered with Bryn Athyn College, the General Church Office of Education,
The Kempton Project, the Swedenborg Foundation and the Swedenborg
Society.
Steve David says: “We’re helping Swedenborgian churches and publishers
spread the gospel. We’re empowering the clergy. We’re empowering translators.
We’re empowering everyone who wants to read the Word and understand its
deeper meaning.”
