Ruotsalainen Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) oli 1700-luvun yleisnero, jonka tieteellinen tuotanto käsittää yli neljä hyllymetriä teoksia. Swedenborg kunnostautui mm. matemaatikkona, fyysikkona, kemistinä, anatomina, fysiologina, metallurgina, filosofina ja teologina. Hän hallitsi yhdeksää kieltä ja kirjoitti latinaksi. Hän teki myös lukuisia tieteellisiä keksintöjä. Niinkin nykyaikaiset keksinnöt kuin lentokone, sukellusvene ja eräänlainen konekivääri löytyvät hänen luonnoksistaan. Stanfordin yliopiston psykologit ovat arvioineet Swedenborgin älykkyysosamääräksi 205, eli hän on yksi kaikkien aikojen älykkäimmistä ihmisistä.57-vuotiaana hän kuitenkin lopetti loistavan tieteellisen uransa, sillä Jumala ilmestyi hänelle näyssä vuonna 1745 ja kertoi valinneensa hänet paljastamaan ihmisille Raamattuun sisältyvän salaisen, spirituaalisen merkityksen. Lisäksi hänen tuli kirjoittaa henkimaailmasta, taivaasta ja helvetistä sekä uudesta kristillisestä teologiasta. Tähän kaikkeen Swedenborg ryhtyi valtavalla työkyvyllään ja laati 27 vuotta eli kuolemaansa asti yli kaksi hyllymetriä latinaksi kirjoitettua tekstiä. Taivas ja helvetti on hänen luetuin teoksensa. Siinä on kuvattu seikkaperäisesti, minkälaista on taivaissa, helveteissä ja henkimaailmassa. Swedenborg kertoo, että hänen teoksensa ovat Herran Toinen Tuleminen: Herra antoi hänelle kyvyn ymmärtää Raamatun spirituaalisen merkityksen sekä seurustella kuolleiden ihmisten eli henkien ja enkelien kanssa. Swedenborg lähetti kirjojaan johtaville kirkonmiehille ja yliopistoihin, mutta hänen teoksiaan ei hyväksytty. Tämä ei ollut ihme, sillä hän paljasti, että katolinen kirkko ja reformoidut kirkot olivat tuhoutuneet ja lakanneet olemasta yhteydessä Jumalaan ja taivaaseen, minkä Ilmestyskirja ennustaa. Kristillisten kirkkojen johtajat hylkäsivät Swedenborgin teokset aivan kuten juutalaisten johtajat hylkäsivät Herran ensimmäisen tulemisen. Swedenborg ei perustanut mitään uskonnollista yhteisöä, hän vain kirjoitti ja julkaisi. Hän kuitenkin ennusti, että hänen teoksilleen tullaan myöhemmin perustamaan Ilmestyskirjassa mainittu Uusi Jerusalem, joka on kaikkien kirkkojen kruunu ja viimeinen aito kirkko planeetallamme.

These two shorter works by Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), originally published separately and very different in content, both represent Swedenborg's own effort to summarize complex areas of his thought. Published toward the end of Swedenborg's life, Survey of Teachings of the New Church was a forerunner to his final theological work, True Christianity. In Survey, Swedenborg discusses some key tenets of Christian doctrine, both Catholic and Protestant, and describes how his own theology differs from it. He focuses on key concepts such as the Trinity, the nature of faith and charity, and the spiritual nature of the Last Judgment described in the book of Revelation. Taken as a whole, the piece is a brief summation of the doctrines that Swedenborg felt were critical for the coming spiritual age. Soul-Body Interaction addresses a crucial area of Swedenborg's thought: the way that life flows from the transcendent God into all living things. Swedenborg describes the nature and structure of the spiritual world, including heaven, hell, and the intermediate world of spirits, and describes how the higher levels of being reflect a more perfect conjunction with God. He also traces the flow of the Lord's love and wisdom into the soul of all living people, showing how it gives life regardless of their current spiritual state.

Secrets of Heaven is Emanuel Swedenborg's magnum opus, a fifteen-volume work that delves into the inner, spiritual meaning of the Bible. Starting from the first verse, Swedenborg goes through Genesis and Exodus verse by verse, sometimes word by word, uncovering the fascinating teachings behind the literal account. By doing careful comparison of passages and tracing individual images and motifs through the Bible, he demonstrates that it contains a profound, coherent, and unified inner meaning. This fourth volume covers the inner meaning of Genesis 22-26, which on the surface recount God's testing of Abraham and the generational shift that occurs as Sarah and Abraham die, Isaac and Rebekah marry, and Jacob and Esau are born. The intricacies of this narrative are interpreted as the processes Jesus went through inwardly as he united his human and divine natures and established a new religious culture on earth. Much of this volume also explores the concepts of correspondence and representation as underlying realities present in the natural and spiritual worlds and in the Bible. This new translation, part of the New Century Edition series, makes Swedenborg's insights into Scripture and his accounts of his spiritual experiences more accessible than ever before.

Ce n'est pas le vers: Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se r pondent, qui manifeste le plus l'influence d'Emanuel Swedenborg sur Charles Baudelaire, mais le titre Correspondances et le premier quatrain du po me: La nature est un temple o de vivants piliers Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles; L'homme y passe travers des for ts de symboles Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers. Ces regards que Baudelaire r pute appartenir aux symboles, se trouvent tre, chez le proph te du nord, les regards des anges. Ils sont les vivants (et agissants) piliers de ce temple, l'homme, difi sur le mod le du Tr s-Grand Homme, auquel Swedenborg se r f re tout au long de ce trait visionnaire. Les choses qui sont dans la nature ne sont que des effets, enseigne-t-il ici, leurs causes se situent dans le monde spirituel. Et les causes de ces causes, qui sont les fins, se trouvent dans le ciel int rieur. D'o Swedenborg d duit, dans une partie essentielle de l'ouvrage (Correspondance des maladies avec le monde spirituel) que les maladies ont aussi une correspondance avec le monde spirituel. Non pas, il est vrai, avec le ciel, mais avec ceux qui sont dans les enfers, car elles sont du domaine de la mort; elles correspondent aux cupidit s et aux passions du mental (animus): les envies, les haines, les vengeances, les lascivet s, et autres passions semblables, qui d truisent les int rieurs de l'homme.... Il y a deux Lumi res, rappelle aussi Swedenborg, celle qui appartient au monde vient du soleil, l'autre qui appartient au Ciel vient du Seigneur. L'intelligence provient de la lumi re du Ciel. Quand les choses du monde sont clair es par la lumi re du Ciel, l'homme comprend et devient sage... En tant que ces choses correspondent.)
