The Significance Of Swedenborg For Contemporary Theology

By Walter Marshall Horton

Book Overview

""The Significance of Swedenborg for Contemporary Theology"" is a scholarly book written by Walter Marshall Horton, which explores the theological ideas of the 18th-century Swedish philosopher and theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. The book examines how Swedenborg's teachings have influenced contemporary theology, particularly in the areas of ethics, spirituality, and social justice. Horton argues that Swedenborg's emphasis on the inner spiritual life and the interconnectedness of all things has relevance for modern-day discussions on the environment, human rights, and the role of religion in society. The book also provides a historical overview of Swedenborg's life and works, as well as an analysis of his theological concepts, such as the nature of God, the afterlife, and the concept of the ""New Church."" Overall, ""The Significance of Swedenborg for Contemporary Theology"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the ongoing relevance of Swedenborg's ideas in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
