Author: Swedenborg, Emanuel

Published in 1758, Swedenborg's best-known book describes a soul's experiences after death and the angels and evil spirits who inhabit the many heavens and hells of the Swedenborgian cosmology. The great 18th-century mystic's concept of the afterlife influenced many later thinkers. This is the first in a new 25-volume set of translations of Swedenborg's works, with notes and supplementary material. "A classic, mind-altering canonical text of Western spirituality." - Christopher Bamford, author of The Voice of the Eagle: The Heart of Celtic Christianity. 566 pp.
