Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gist of Swedenborg
The reason for a compilation such as is here presented should be obvious. Sweden borg's theological writings comprise some thirty or more substantial volumes, the result of the most concentrated labor extending over a period of twenty seven years. To study these writings in their whole extent, to see them in their minute unfoldment out of the Word of God, is a work of years. It 13 doubtful if there is a phase of man's religious experience for which an interpretation is not here to be found. Notwithstanding this immense sweep of doc trine there are certain vital, fundamental truths on which it all rests - the christ-god, Man a spiritual being, the warfare of Regeneration, Marriage, the Sacred Scriptures, the Life of Charity and Faith, the Divine Providence, Death and the Future' Life, the Church. We have endeavored to press within the small compass of this book passages which give the gist of Swedenborg's teachings on these subjects.

About the Author
About the Author:
"Emanuel Swedenborg (born Emanuel Swedberg) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, Christian mystic, and theologian. Swedenborg had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist. 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. He claimed that the Lord had opened his eyes, so that from then on he could freely visit heaven and hell, and talk with angels, demons, and other spirits. 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his life, he wrote and published 18 theological works, of which the best known was Heaven and Hell (1758), and several unpublished theological works."
