内容简介

Scribe of Heaven introduces Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) and traces the impact of his spiritual thought in the Western world. Jonathan S. Rose looks at the lush imagery of Swedenborg's symbolism, while David Eller, Alice Skinner, Olle Hjern and Jean-Francois Mayer show how that imagery and symbolism influenced European and American artists and thinkers. Jane Williams-Hogan and David Eller discuss the development of Swedenborgianism as an institutionalized religion in Anglophone countries and around the world. Included are a biography of Swedenborg, an overview of his theological volumes, a review of Swedenborg's original manuscripts and a bibliography of his works.
