Synopsis

The destruction of the world is not meant by the day of the last judgment. Those who have not known the spiritual sense of the Word, have understood that everything in the visible world will be destroyed in the day of the Last Judgment; for it is said, that heaven and earth are then to perish, and that God will create a New Heaven and a New Earth.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, and theologian whose later writings established him as one of the most influential figures in Christian mysticism and esoteric religious thought. Trained in the sciences and active as an engineer and inventor, Swedenborg underwent a profound spiritual transformation in midlife, after which he devoted himself to documenting his visionary experiences of heaven, hell, and the spiritual structure of reality.His theological works-including Heaven and Hell, Divine Love and Wisdom, and Last Judgment-present a systematic and highly detailed account of the afterlife and the inner meaning of scripture. Swedenborg's ideas laid the foundation for the New Church movement and have continued to shape discussions of metaphysics, spiritual psychology, and the relationship between the material and spiritual worlds.

John Whitehead (1823-1899) was a prominent translator and interpreter of Emanuel Swedenborg's theological writings, known for producing clear, faithful English editions that helped introduce Swedenborg's complex spiritual philosophy to a wider audience. Associated with the Swedenborg Society, Whitehead played a key role in standardizing English translations of Swedenborg's Latin texts, ensuring both doctrinal accuracy and readability.His work remains foundational in the dissemination of Swedenborgian thought, particularly within English-speaking religious and esoteric communities. Whitehead's translations are valued for their precision, consistency, and careful handling of Swedenborg's technical theological vocabulary.
