Autor Emanuel Swedenborgen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 aug 2015
What happens to us when we die? Are heaven and hell real? If so, what are they like? Heaven and Hell contains the answers to these questions as seen by Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772).
This new translation of Swedenborg’s most popular work paints a detailed picture of life in the spiritual realms. A Swedish Enlightenment scientist of extraordinary accomplishment, Swedenborg underwent a spiritual crisis that led to an unparalleled series of paranormal experiences. He spent his last twenty-seven years in almost daily experience of heaven and hell, recording his observations and conversations, many of which are reported in Heaven and Hell. This sustained and detailed description of the nonphysical realms has left its impression on the minds of many great thinkers, including Goethe, Blake, Coleridge, Emerson, Borges, and Milosz.
This deluxe edition contains an introduction by religious historian Bernhard Lang setting the volume in the context of its time.
The New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg is a modern-language, scholarly translation of Swedenborg’s theological works. The series’ easy-to-read style retains the dignity, variety, clarity, and gender-inclusive language of Swedenborg’s original Latin, bringing his thought to life. Introductions and annotations by eminent, international scholars place Swedenborg’s writings in their historical context and illuminate obscure references within the text, enabling readers to understand and trace Swedenborg’s influence as never before.

Notă biografică
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, nobleman, and theologian who spent his life investigating the mysteries of the soul. Born in Stockholm to a staunchly Lutheran family, he graduated from the University of Uppsala and then traveled to England, Holland, France, and Germany to study the leading scientists of the time. He gained favor with Sweden’s King Charles XII, who gave him the position of overseer of the Swedish mining industry. Later, he was given a seat on the Swedish House of Nobles by Charles XII’s successor, Queen Ulrika Eleonora. Between 1743 and 1745 he began to have visions of heaven, hell, and Jesus Christ which resulted in a stream of books about the nature of God, the afterlife, and the inner meaning of the Bible. He devoted the last decades of his life to studying Scripture and presenting his own unique theology to the world.

“Some
people
believe
it
is
hard
to
lead
the
heaven-bound
life
that
is
called
‘spiritual’
because
they
have
heard
that
we
need
to
renounce
the
world
and
give
up
the
desires
attributed
to
the
body
and
the
flesh
and
‘live
spiritually.’
All
they
understand
by
this
is
spurning
worldly
interests,
especially
concerns
for
money
and
prestige,
going
around
in
constant
devout
meditation
about
God,
salvation,
and
eternal
life,
devoting
their
lives
to
prayer,
and
reading
the
Word
and
religious
literature.
They
think
this
is
renouncing
the
world
and
living
for
the
spirit
and
not
for
the
flesh.
However,
the
actual
case
is
quite
different,
as
I
have
learned
from
an
abundant
experience
and
conversation
with
angels.
In
fact,
people
who
renounce
the
world
and
live
for
the
spirit
in
this
fashion
take
on
a
mournful
life
for
themselves,
a
life
that
is
not
open
to
heavenly
joy,
since
our
life
does
remain
with
us
[after
death].
No,
if
we
would
accept
heaven’s
life,
we
need
by
all
means
to
live
in
the
world
and
to
participate
in
its
duties
and
affairs.
In
this
way,
we
accept
a
spiritual
life
by
means
of
our
moral
and
civic
life;
and
there
is
no
other
way
a
spiritual
life
can
be
formed
within
us,
no
other
way
our
spirits
can
be
prepared
for
heaven.
This
is
because
living
an
inner
life
and
not
an
outer
life
at
the
same
time
is
like
living
in
a
house
that
has
no
foundation,
that
gradually
either
settles
or
develops
gaping
cracks
or
totters
until
it
collapses.”
