Produktbeschreibung
These short works by Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), originally published separately, offer his summaries of two very different areas of his thought. In Survey, he discusses some key tenets of Christian doctrines, both Catholic and Protestant, and describes how his own theology differs from them. The more philosophically centered work Soul-Body Interaction weighs in on the contemporary debate about the relationship between the soul and the body--a debate that continues to our time in the form of the mind-body question, the exploration of the action of mind on body and of the nature of consciousness. In Swedenborg's treatment, this topic leads to an exposition of the way that life flows from the transcendent God into all living things.
Autorenporträt
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish nobleman widely known as a scientist, engineer, inventor, and (in later life) visionary theologian. A graduate of Uppsala University, he spent most of his career as an overseer on Sweden's Board of Mines, and he was also a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and an active member of the Swedish parliament. He is best known for his prolific theological writings, which he produced and published following a spiritual awakening in his mid-fifties, and for the substantial influence those works have had on philosophical thought and spiritual/religious movements in the centuries since his death. Jonathan S. Rose is the holder of a BA and an MDiv in religion and an MA and a PhD in Latin. He was a professor of religion and sacred languages at Bryn Athyn College before taking on his current position as series editor of the New Century Edition. George F. Dole earned a BA from Yale, an MA from Oxford, and a PhD from Harvard. He taught ancient languages, the Bible, and theology at the Swedenborg School of Religion and the Pacific School of Religion.
