Welcome
to the HEAVENLY DOCTRINES on the web. Written by Emanuel
Swedenborg in the eighteenth century, these books contain the "Spirit
of Truth" spoken of by Jesus when He said,
"I
still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them
now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide
you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority,
but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things
to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and
declare it to you." (John 16:12 - 14)
These Heavenly
Doctrines embody the Second Advent of the Lord God Jesus Christ on
Earth. They provide exposition of the Word of God in the Old and
New Testaments and explanations of the truth concerning the Lord
Jesus Christ, life continuing after death, salvation, damnation,
temptation, reformation, regeneration, heaven, hell, charity, faith,
life, fullfilment of prophecy, conjugial (marriage) love, creation
and maintenance of the universe, Divine Providence, and many other
teachings relating to the life of religion.
Following
are links to the beginning of each book of the Heavenly Doctrines.
The name in parentheses following the title of each book is the name
of the translator of the book. The original language of the Heavenly
Doctrines was NeoLatin (if you are interested in NeoLatin, check
out NeoSearch).
All of these translations are into English. The range of numbers
given after the name of the translator refer to the paragraph numbers
assigned by Swedenborg.
