The historical accounts of the Old Testament have long proved to be difficult subjects for biblical scholars. They are obviously representative in nature but what do they represent? Swedenborg unfolds an impressive picture of a divine consistency through the entire sweep of Bible history. This three-part work has probably attracted more attention than any other single volume from Swedenborg's pen.
The middle section treats of the world of spirits which is a transitory state between heaven and hell. The human soul awakes in the world of spirits after death and there prepares for final entrance into either heaven or hell depending upon the quality of the life which the man lived in the natural world.
Each individual determines his own fate by the free choices he makes during his natural life. This work deals largely with the subject of divine revelation and man's need for it. Its title comes from Chapter 19 of the Book of Revelation, the internal sense of which is discussed. In this commentary, Swedenborg presents summaries of a number of doctrines developed in greater length in other theological writings. Many references to numbers in the Arcana make this a work to be used in connection with the twelve-volume study.
Science still debates the question of life on other worlds but Swedenborg had no doubts that the human race was endlessly varied. He says that all terrestrial bodies were created to support human life of some kind and describes the life of spirits from a number of planets other than earth. He believes that the most characteristic aspect of divine creation - infinite variety - is carried out in the varieties of human existence. Each individual soul and earth is distinct from all others and each has a proper place in the plan of creation.
This book speaks against the concept of a divine judgment during some future rising of the dead. Instead, each individual after death, goes through a personal last judgment in the world of spirits. In addition, the entire world of spirits, according to Swedenborg's account, underwent a last judgment in the year Both spiritual and natural reorderings resulted.
This important study presents teachings on the nature of the Lord. It explains the workings of the divine trinity. It sets forth the fundamental Swedenborgian doctrine of God as a divinely human person, who ministers to the human race as both revealer and redeemer. Doctrine of the Sacred Scripture, , 94 pp SS.
In this work Swedenborg supplies support for the idea that the Christian Bible presents the word of God on earth, that it has an internal or spiritual sense, and that its teachings are necessary to maintain human life. Doctrine of Life is the first of several basic studies on the proper relationship between men on earth. This work emphasizes the view that man can evolve toward a spiritual life after death only from the Lord, although the man acts as if of himself. Swedenborg argues for a correct understanding of the teachings of the Decalogue.
As man shuns the evils listed in the Decalogue he comes into the opposite goods and thus turns himself toward heaven. Contrary to the common concept, "faith" to Swedenborg does not mean believing that which is not understood. Genuine faith is presented as an internal acknowledgment or perception of truth which, in the stream of providence, cannot properly be separated from charity.
Faith alone and salvation by faith are pointedly rejected. This is a further exposition of the nature of the spiritual world and the judgment effected there in It restates some of the material in the larger work titled Last Judgment noted above. In this work Swedenborg discusses the process of Creation.

There are five basic subjects, the nature of God, the creation of the universe, the relationship between the spiritual and natural worlds, the discrete and continuous degrees through which the two worlds function, and the form of the human mind. Thus the work may properly be termed the metaphysics of Swedenborg's theological writings. This study picks up the basic themes of Divine Love and Wisdom and relates them to the human individual as the highest end of creation.
The Lord governs his creation through divine providence. To be in full harmony with divine providence, the human will and the human understanding must be in accord with the order of creation. Providence looks to the preservation of this order although human free will may violate it. Students of Swedenborg's theology believe that Divine Love and Wisdom and Divine Providence are interrelated works which should be read consecutively. This commentary also supplies a consecutive exposition of the internal meaning of the book of Revelation. However, it is much shorter, while covering the full length of Revelation including the final three chapters which the longer work does not treat.
Apocalypse Explained seems to be an uncompleted, earlier rendition of the teachings presented in more concise form in Apocalypse Revealed. Apocalypse Revealed places stress on the effects of divine influx for the establishment of a new Christian church on earth. The book treats of marriage and sex-morality and also of various perversions of marriage. Swedenborg asserts that true Conjugial love descends from the Lord into all humans.

The male and female receive and apply this love differently, the two receptions complementing each other. In a proper marriage husband and wife together learn the fullness of love through looking to the Lord and shunning selfishness. The delights of marriage are presented as the height of human delight These delights include raising children by which means the race is continued and heaven peopled. Conjugial Love is a high-minded work, but not an abstruse one.
Many practical matters of the relationship between the sexes such as courtship, betrothal, jealousy, temptation, disaffection, sensuality, prudence, and courtesy are dealt with.

This is a book of guidelines for spiritual living with much rational appeal. Eternal ideas are advocated as the only proper starting point for a happy marriage life, although problems posed by the power of the sensual are not ignored. The family, as the basic unit of society, receives stress in Conjugial Love. This work contrasts the teachings of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Swedenborgianism. The contrast underscores basic differences and argues for the establishment of a new faith. The work may be more important in Swedenborgian theology than is sometimes realized.
This metaphysical tract discusses the relationship between the spiritual and the natural and the means by which they are interconnected. Spiritual influx from the Lord interconnects the human soul and body. The work also attempts to make the discrete differences between the spiritual and natural worlds understandable. This study culminated Swedenborg's many theological inquiries. Its subtitle, "Universal Theology of the New Heaven and the New Church,' summarizes the Swedenborgian teaching that the Lord has again vivified His church through newly revealed truths which have reestablished harmony in the spiritual world and engendered a new faith on earth.
Aspects of theology, philosophy, and religious ethics are all included in True Christian Religion.
Spiritual Diary, or Spiritual Experiences , 5 vols. Swedenborg kept a journal of experiences during the years of his theological period. Accounts of the nature and inhabitants of the spiritual world run throughout this multi-volume record. However, the diary also contains many comments on religious doctrines and principles, most of which are developed more fully in other works, particularly the Arcana. The diary apparently served Swedenborg as a storehouse of thoughts and impressions from which he drew in preparing his published works, in a manner similar to the way in which Emerson and others have made use of personal journals.
Apocalypse Explained, , 6 vols. This work is a systematic exposition of the internal meaning of all but the last three chapters of the book of Revelation. It is much longer than Apocalypse Revealed. The nature of the Divine, the order of the heavens and the union of the Divine with the created world through new revelation emerge as the key teachings of this work. Like the Arcana, the Apocalypse Explained sets forth internal meanings of many passages in the Bible in books other than Genesis, Exodus, or Revelation, which are the only three books of the Bible which receive detailed, systematic exposition.
Summary Exposition of the Prophets and Psalms , , pp. This work presents the internal sense of these books of the Bible in outline form.
