Bøker av Emanuel Swedenborg

These two short works, which Swedenborg originally published separately, discuss two topics that are closely intertwined.In Life, he focuses on regeneration--our conscious process of spiritual rebirth--and he reviews the inner sense of the Ten Commandments as a way to understand our choice between good and evil. In Faith, Swedenborg rejects the notion of faith without rational sense, defining faith as inner recognition of what is true, and he emphasizes that true faith occurs only when we love others and treat them well. Life / Faith, as part of the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg, incorporates the latest scholarship and translation standards for a more accurate and accessible rendering of Swedenborg's work.

Swedish scientist and Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) wrote many volumes describing his visionary experiences in the afterlife. This book is a collection of his most compelling writings about angels--what heaven is like, how angels live and love, and how they keep watch over the people on earth. For people who have never read Swedenborg's works before, this book serves as a vivid snapshot of how he describes the afterlife.

In this collection of writings from Emanuel Swedenborg's (1688-1772) classic Heaven and Hell, Swedenborg describes the process of dying as he experienced it personally.

Throughout his writings, the eighteenth-century scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg uses the term "Lord" to mean Jesus Christ as the embodiment of God. In this short work, he emphasizes that the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three coexisting divine Persons but are three aspects within one divine Person--Jesus in his resurrection. The Lord also touches on key themes in Swedenborg's theology--why the Lord came to earth, the meaning of his human death and resurrection, and how the Old Testament foretold his coming--with extensive biblical references to support his arguments. He concludes by describing the New Jerusalem as both the city foretold in Revelation and the new spiritual age now unfolding. This new translation of The Lord (traditionally titled The Doctrine of the Lord), as part of the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg, incorporates the latest scholarship and translation standards for a more accurate and accessible rendering of Swedenborg's work.

Secrets of Heaven is Emanuel Swedenborg's magnum opus, a fifteen-volume work that delves into the inner, spiritual meaning of the biblical books of Genesis and Exodus. This third volume covers the inner meaning of Genesis 16-21, giving an account of the early stages of Jesus' inward development, including the interactions of his human side and his divine side. It additionally addresses other topics, and in particular the true nature of the Last Judgment. This new translation, part of the New Century Edition series, makes Swedenborg's insights into Scripture and his accounts of his spiritual experiences more accessible than ever before.

Building on the eighteenth-century fascination with the possibility of life on other worlds and with traveler's tales of other cultures, this work describes life on other planets in our solar system and elsewhere in the universe.

"True Christianity" was Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg's last published theological work, a systematic description of his view on the church in this world and the next.

In Divine Providence, Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg undertakes the difficult task of bridging that transcendent vision of a perfectly loving God with the sometimes unloving world where we all live.

In his most popular and influential work, Swedenborg describes his journeys through the afterlife--the soul's experience of dying and then being resurrected in heaven, how each of us finds a community there in which to live, and how we can ultimately become angels. Heaven and Hell is a powerful affirmation that we are all born for heaven, regardless of background or religion, and that the choices we make in this world shape our destiny in the next.

Love in Marriage (also translated under the titles Marriage Love and Conjugial Love) is one of the most challenging works written by Swedish scientist and visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). It is not only about marriage as a social institution--both in the ways that it works and the ways that it can be a source of strife--but about the spiritual implications of marriage and the ways that two human beings can form, continue, and deepen their emotional and spiritual connection in this world and the next. While much of the commentary about marriage and romantic relationships is best understood in the context of eighteenth-century Swedish culture, the spiritual commentary sheds important light on the dualism that pervades Swedenborg's theology and his stress on the importance of love for others. David Gladish's contemporary translation, originally published in 1992, remains one of the most vibrant renditions of this work in the English language.

In Apocalypse Revealed, Swedish scientist-turned-seer Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) takes the reader verse by verse through the Book of Revelation, explaining the spiritual meaning behind the literal words of the biblical text.

The Gist of Swedenborg is a controversial text by the great Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg that deals with the subject of the New Jerusalem Church.This religious and philosophical classic contains the following forward: "Swedenborg's theological writings comprise some thirty or more substantial volumes, the result of the most concentrated labor extending over a period of twenty-seven years. To study these writings in their whole extent, to see them in their minute unfoldment out of the Word of God, is a work of years. It is doubtful if there is a phase of man's religious experience for which an interpretation is not here to be found. Notwithstanding this immense sweep of doctrine there are certain vital, fundamental truths on which it all rests:-the Christ-God, Man a spiritual being, the warfare of Regeneration, Marriage, the Sacred Scriptures, the Life of Charity and Faith, the Divine Providence, Death and the Future Life, the Church. We have endeavored to press within the small compass of this book passages which give the gist of Swedenborg's teachings on these subjects."

And since it has been given me to become acquainted with these matters in this way, it is permitted me to describe them from the things which I have heard and seen."
