Swedenborg

By Eric a Sutton

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, theologian, revelator, and mystic. He is best known for his comprehensive system of theological thought, which had a profound influence on subsequent spiritual and intellectual movements. Swedenborg provides an overview of his life and work, exploring his scientific background, his spiritual crisis, and the development of his unique religious philosophy.

The book delves into Swedenborg's visions, his concept of correspondences between the natural and spiritual worlds, and his detailed descriptions of heaven and hell. It also examines his influence on figures such as William Blake, Honor de Balzac, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Eric A. Sutton's Swedenborg offers an accessible introduction to a complex and fascinating figure whose ideas continue to resonate with those interested in mysticism, theology, and the intersection of science and spirituality.
