Originally compiled in 1875 by Samuel M. Warren, this volume contains key extracts from Swedenborg’s writings on many facets of his philosophy, from the abstract nature of God, man, and the human soul to the everyday application of charity, free will, and spiritual regeneration; from the history and rites of the church to the wonders of the afterlife. A classic of Swedenborgian studies, it remains a vital research tool for scholars and seekers alike.
