| Publisher Description: 1920. Few, if any, of the mystics stand out more prominently than that giant of the north, the illumined 18th century Swedish seer, Emanuel Swedenborg. In some respects he is unique. Although one of the greatest of our modern philosophers and mystics, he is but little studied, and still less understood, being looked upon as a visionary pure and simple. Swainson relates a biographical sketch of this prominent man and his beliefs. Contents: scientific education; seership; character; doctrine of correspondence; divine humanity; last judgment; charity and faith; heaven and hell; Swedenborg's claims; reason of seership; limitations; new Jerusalem. |
