“I am more and more convinced that Swedenborgian theology can help us sort things out. All we need to do, in a sense, is to take its simple, basic assertions seriously and see what they imply.” – George F. Dole

George Dole’s talks enjoy an honored reputation for their spiritual insight and scholarly creativity. In the course of thirty years’ teaching and preaching, a prolific body of theology given in oral form (lectures, sermons, seminar talks) has steadily amassed. These “little works” often serve as the workbench from which Professor Dole constructs his increasingly popular contemporary philosophy.

Sorting Things Out is a volume of 32 talks chosen for their sharp focus and enduring relevance. Whether exploring scientific advances in fields such as holography and chaology, or drawing out purpose from the confusion of the human drama, these talks can help thoughtful seekers to sort things out along their way.
