Posthusous Theological Works

A variety of brief materials published after Swedenborg's death, including doctrinal essays, letters, and manuscript fragments.

A collection of short works by Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) that were unpublished in his lifetime.

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772), a truly remarkable visionary, began his career as a Swedish mining official and member of parliament and became well known throughout Europe as a scientist and prolific writer on scientific and philosophical subjects. After a series of profound religious experiences during midlife, he devoted the remaining twenty-seven years of his life to being a A servant of the Lord and wrote energetically to communicate a spiritual vision of reality. Since then, the rigid theologies of the eighteenth century have steadily yielded, and the foresighted lucidity of his perspective has gained widening recognition. The fresh and contemporary appeal of Swedenborg's insights arises from the respect he showed for all religious faiths that stress a useful and loving life.
