The Teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg Vol I: 1

In Heaven and Hell Swedenborg gives the reader a detailed description of the afterlife. He deals with God heaven hell angels spirits and devils; and he addresses the issues of who is in heaven and hell. Are there any Jews Muslims and people of pre-Christian times such as pagan Romans and Greeks in heaven? He posits that the love of self or of the world drives one towards hell and love of God and fellow men towards heaven. Here is the most influential and important book ever written on the subject! In Divine Love and Wisdom Swedenborg uses reason and empirical facts to prove the existence of God and Gods divine love. He further posits that we are all an essential part of Gods Divine plan and that without us Gods plan could not come to fruition. In Divine Providence Swedenborg explains why it is that we cannot always see Gods hand in our chaotic world. Why tragedy and war are allowed to happen and how these things relate to us. If God were to remove all tragedies from our lives of what worth would free will be?
