Bøker utgitt av The Swedenborg Society

In New Jerusalem: The Good City and the Good Society, Ken Worpole reveals that utopian and visionary thinking, especially in relation to new forms of settlement and livelihood, has not gone away, even if it has gone underground. With an unprecedented growth in the population of older people, along with increasing cultural and demographic change elsewhere in society, there is renewed interest in more convivial forms of urban design, as well as shared living. This interest draws on a long history of elective communities, including those influenced by the thought and works of Emanuel Swedenborg--a fascinating history with much to offer the architects and policymakers of today.

William Rowlandson offers a brief but deep-reaching study of Argentine short story writer Jorge Luis Borges's appreciation of Emanuel Swedenborg, showing the Swedish visionary's influence on Borges's writing.
