The Lives of Angels

Swedish scientist and Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) wrote many volumes describing his visionary experiences in the afterlife. This book is a collection of his most compelling writings about angels--what heaven is like, how angels live and love, and how they keep watch over the people on earth. For people who have never read Swedenborg's works before, this book serves as a vivid snapshot of how he describes the afterlife.

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.
