Sacred Scripture / White Horse

In Sacred Scripture / White Horse, Emanuel Swedenborg provides the spiritual theory behind the verse-by-verse analysis found in multivolume works like Secrets of Heaven and Revelation Unveiled. Sacred Scripture provides an explanation of how the inner meaning of Scripture relates to the outer (literal) meaning by using numerous examples to illustrate how similar themes emerge again and again through the Bible. White Horse begins with a short summary of the spiritual meaning of the white horse described in Revelation 19:11 and continues with an effective summary of Swedenborgs theology of Scriptural interpretation.

About the author

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, nobleman, and theologian who spent his life investigating the mysteries of the soul. Born in Stockholm to a staunchly Lutheran family, he graduated from the University of Uppsala and then traveled to England, Holland, France, and Germany to study with the leading scientists of the time. Between 1743 and 1745, he began to have visions of heaven, hell, and Jesus Christ, which resulted in a stream of books about the nature of God, the afterlife, and the inner meaning of the Bible. He devoted the last decades of his life to studying Scripture and presenting his own unique theology to the world.
