No official stance; valued as spiritual wisdom; not canonical Scripture

Swedenborgians do not have a unified denominational position on the Deuterocanonical books (Tobit, Wisdom, Sirach, Maccabees, and Baruch). The New Church does not insist on the 66-book Protestant canon, nor does it embrace the Catholic canon.
