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.
In Heaven and Hell, Swedenborg gives the reader a detailed
description of the afterlife. He deals with God, heaven, hell,
angels, spirits, and devils; and he addresses the issues of who is
in heaven and hell. Are there any Jews, Muslims and people of
pre-Christian times such as pagan Romans and Greeks in heaven? He
posits that the love of self or of the world drives one towards
hell, and love of God and fellow men towards heaven. Here is the
most influential and important book ever written on the subject!

"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.
