Ouseley G J | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

1923. The Rev. G.J. Ouseley was a priest, first in the Established Church of Ireland, and afterwards in the Catholic Apostolic Church. The Gospel was written down by him after he had received it in numerous fragments at different times from Emmanuel Swedenborg (who was seen by trustworthy clairvoyants and afterwards identified from a portrait shown to them), Anna Kingsford, Edward Maitland, and a priest of a former century giving his name as Placidus of the Franciscan Order, afterwards a Carmelite. The unseen communicators wished to reinstall passages that insist on the obvious, though often lamentably neglected, duty of love and protection for animals, relate a number of instances of the personal interference of the Lord of Love to save animals from ill-treatment and teach against the eating of flesh and taking of strong drink.
