These efforts have now reached a new milestone, with the first official Swedenborg app!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are a reader of the Writings, there is a good chance you are already familiar with the <em>New Christian Bible Study<\/em> project at www.newchristianbiblestudy.org.

The great advantage to this tool is offline mobile access to Swedenborg&#8217;s works. While the regular website works great for use on your phone or tablet when internet access is available, &#8220;Swedenborg Reader&#8221; allows you to download and search several translations of the Writings &#8220;on the go&#8221; while offline.
