Synopsis

The Swedenborg Library: Death, Resurrection And The Judgment by Emanuel Swedenborg. This volume presents extracts from Emanuel Swedenborg's theological writings, compiled and edited by Benjamin Fiske Barrett, to provide readers with a compact view of his teachings on death, resurrection, and the judgment. Swedenborg argues that a person is a spiritual being whose inner life survives death and whose memory remains, with the rational life shaped by the loves that govern him. The book outlines the three post-mortem states through which souls pass, describes the process of resurrection as the separation of spirit from the body, and explains how life after death depends on the ruling loves—heavenly love leading to heaven, and self-centered love leading to hell. It details the Last Judgment as a spiritual event within the afterlife at the end of a church, not a physical disaster on earth. Through vivid accounts of angels and spirits, the work presents Swedenborg's vision of heaven, hell, memory, and the eternal destiny of souls. The Editor's Preface situates Swedenborg's writings in a broader historical reception and explains the series' aim to make his essential doctrines accessible.
