The essays in this volume testify to the far-reaching effects of
Emanuel Swedenborg's works in Western culture. From his early days
as an ambitious young scientist in the ferment of the
eighteenth-century Enlightenment Europe, through his mid-life
entrance into an ongoing experience of the spiritual world, to his
last decades as a researcher of things spiritual, Swedenborg built
a career that left a unique legacy. His vivid descriptions of the
nonphysical realm made a powerful impression on minds as diverse as
Goethe, Blake, Emerson, Yeats, and Borges.
This book serves as a self-contained resource on Swedenborg's
life and thought and as a gateway into further exploration of the
labyrinthine garden of Swedenborg's works. It includes a biography,
rich in fascinating detail; lively overviews of the content and
history of Swedenborg's writings on spiritual topics; and essays
tracing Swedenborg's impact in various regions of the world.
"Divine Love and Wisdom" has been called the most profound work
of the Enlightenment scientist and seer Emanuel Swedenborg. It
demonstrates how God's love, wisdom, and humanity are reflected in
creation and in ourselves, and suggests that the act of Creation is
not a mystery of the past, but a miracle ongoing in every instant
of the present. Like a blueprint of things unseen, "Divine Love and
Wisdom" makes visible the hidden design of the universe, as well as
the qualities of its Architect. Its vivid depiction of the
spiritual mechanism of the world has impressed thinkers such as
William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and
Henry James Sr.
The New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg is a

clarity, and gender-inclusive language of Swedenborg's original
Latin, bringing his thought to life.
This portable edition contains the text of the New Century
Edition translation, but not the introduction, annotations, or
other supplementary materials found in the deluxe edition.
