Gebundenes Buch

Apocalypse Explained 6

Beschreibung

This verse-by-verse exposition on the inner spiritual meaning of the Book of Revelation provides a revealing insight into the visionary theology of Emanuel Swedenborg. Published posthumously, this version was translated from the original Latin in 1897 by John C. Ager. Volume 6 (of six volumes total) discusses Revelation 17-19. (Note that because this work was only written in draft form and never completed, there is no commentary on Revelation 20-22.) The volume also contains three unrelated theological short works by Emanuel Swedenborg: "On Divine Love and Divine Wisdom," "Concerning the Lord and Concerning the Holy Spirit," and "The Athanasian Creed."

Autor

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.
