Book Description
The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love is a book by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish theologist, scientist, thinker and mystic, here providing a thorough spiritual understanding of marriage love and sex. Excerpt: "Spiritual cold in marriages is a disunion of souls and a disjunction of minds, whence come indifference, discord, contempt, disdain, and aversion; from which, in several cases, at length comes separation as to bed, chamber, and house. That these effects take place with married partners, while their primitive love is on the decline, and becomes cold, is too well known to need any comment. The reason is, because conjugial cold above all others resides in human minds; for the essential conjugial principle is inscribed on the soul, to the end that a soul may be propagated from a soul, and the soul of the father into the offspring. Hence it is that this cold originates there, and successively goes downward into the principles thence derived, and infects them; and thus changes the joys and delights of the primitive love into what is sad and undelightful."

Pages : 0
Book Description
Available for the first time in English, Martin Lamm's work on the evolution of the philosophy of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) has stood as one of the standard works on the Swedish theologian since its original publication in 1915. Lamm shows that Swedenborg's scientific worldview was not changed by his later religious revelations -- that the two complemented and corroborated each other.

Getting Into Heaven--and Out Again!
Author: Albrecht Gralle
Publisher: Swedenborg Foundation
ISBN: 9780877853442
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In this fanciful tour of the afterlife, Albrecht Gralle poses some hard-hitting questions: What if anyone could get into heaven? Would you want to go? Is it really possible for a rational person to believe in a God who can't been seen or touched, who would permit so much suffering in the world? Grounded in descriptions of heaven and hell from Swedish scientist-turned-theologian Emanuel Swedenborg, this exploration of the worlds of spirit speaks to anyone with doubts about spiritual belief.

Book Description
"Two short works, which Emanuel Swedenborg originally published separately, containing his teachings on religious faith and its connection with the way one lives. In "Life," Swedenborg focuses on regeneration (the conscious process of spiritual rebirth) and interprets the Ten Commandments in light of people's choices between good and evil. In "Faith," he rejects the notion of faith without rational sense, and he emphasizes that true faith can occur only in tandem with love and kindness for others"--
