Cover and Contents

From the Back Cover Is there life after death? And if there is, what will become of me? In the eighteenth century, a very capable man named Emanuel Swedenborg wrote that with God's help he had been having extensive experience of the life that awaits us all; and in a book called Heaven and Hell, he summarized several years of that experience. It prompted Elizabeth Barrett Browning to say, "To my mind, the only light that has been cast on the other life is found in Swedenborg's philosophy." In this volume, Bruce Henderson, from a lifelong familiarity with that philosophy, describes Swedenborg's findings in everyday, contemporary language. "The other life" emerges as the life we have already begun--this book is not simply about the future, but about the present. Contents Introduction 1. Mystery No More 2.
