Emanuel Swedenborg, born Emanuel Swedberg (1688-1772) was a Swedish
scientist, philosopher, Christian mystic and theologian. Emanuel
studied physics, mechanics, and philosophy, read and wrote poetry.
He had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. In 1715 he
devoted himself to natural science and engineering projects for the
next two decades. From 1716 to 1718 Swedenborg published a
scientific periodical entitled Daedalus Hyperboreus (The Nordic
Daedalus). At the age of fifty-six he entered into a spiritual
phase, in which he experienced dreams and visions. This culminated
in a spiritual awakening, where he claimed he was appointed by the
Lord to write a heavenly doctrine to reform Christianity. For the
remaining 28 years of his life, he wrote and published 18
theological works, of which the best known was Heaven and Hell
(1758) and several unpublished theological works. His other works
include: Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Divine Love and the Divine
Wisdom (1763), Angelic Wisdom About Divine Providence, Spiritual
Life and the Word of God and Heaven and its Wonders and Hell.
