A Compendium of the Theological Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Compendium of the Theological Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg<br><br>This volume is constructed on the basis of the Compendium compiled by the late Rev. W. M. Fernald which is long since out of print. The larger proportion of the extracts contained in that volume will be found also in this; together with many new extracts and a number of new subjects added by the present compiler; and the whole have been almost entirely re arranged. The book being made up of extracts the reader will reasonably not expect the same continuity that would be looked for in an original and connected work. A constant effort has been made however in the arrangement of the chapters as well as in the construction of them to give the volume as much of the character of a continued treatise as was practicable. It is hoped that this object will be found to have been so far attained that the volume will not be ill adapted to consecutive reading by those who would obtain in briefer compass a general view of the theology and spiritual philosophy embodied in the author''s voluminous writings.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
