These four short works by Swedish scientist and spiritual teacher Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) cover different areas of his early theology. New Jerusalem is a summation of the ideas laid out in Swedenborg's first major theological work, Secrets of Heaven, making it an excellent reference for those who want an overview of the work; Last Judgment presents the startling claim that the Last Judgment has already happened in the spiritual world and that it heralded the dawn of a new spiritual age for humanity; White Horse is a commentary on Chapter 19 of the book of Revelation, focusing on the symbolism of the white horse described in that chapter; and Other Planets describes Swedenborg's encounters with spirits from other inhabited worlds.


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.
