Теологија

Bog deluje iz božanske ljubavi kroz božansku mudrost kako bi stvorio univerzitet - prvo u svojim duhovnim dimenzijama, a potom u svojim fizičkim dimenzijama.

Ovo je detaljno objašnjenje unutrašnjeg značenja Jovanovih vizija, kako ih je opisao u „Knjizi Otkrovenja“.

Apostol Jovan je video viziju belog konja, koja simbolizuje Božansku istinu Reči Gospodnje. Ilustruje opštiji princip korespondencije.

The literal stories of the Word are important and sacred because they contain deep inner meaning. The Old and New Testaments are based on correspondences between spiritual and natural things.

Kako duša komunicira sa telom? Svedenborg je bio teolog, I jedan od vodećih neuroznanstvenika svog doba. Evo šta je o tome imao da kaže.

Ovo kratko delo, objavljeno 1769, upoređuje doktrine katoličke i nekih protestantskih crkava iz 1700-ih i suprotstavlja ih učenjima koja nova hrišćanska crkva treba da ima.

Ova knjiga dopunjava dva ranija Svedenborgova dela, „Poslednji sud” i „Nebo i pakao”.

Ovo delo opisuje prirodu Boga. On pruža novi pogled na Trojstvo sa opširnim referencama na Stari i Novi zavet.

Da li je samo vera izvodljiva? Ne. Svedenborg u ovom radu pažljivo i ubedljivo tvrdi da nije. On opisuje šta je vera, kako radimo na njenom razvoju i kako je treba sjediniti sa dobročinstvom, tj. Ljubavlju prema bližnjem, da bi bila stvarna vera.

Ovo delo objašnjava unutrašnje značenje Postanja i Izlaska. Pregled poglavlja potkrepljen je analizom simbolike biblijskih reči.

Idemo li negde kad umremo? Svedenborg opisuje duhovni svet kao stvarno "mesto" koje deluje na drugačijem nivou fizičkog sveta.

Ovo je pregled nove hrišćanske teologije, uključujući teme kao što su ljubav, vera, pokazivanje, reformacija i preporod, priroda Reči i još mnogo toga.

Na kraju svakog duhovnog "doba" u ljudskoj povijesti, postoji "posljednji sud", duhovna morska promjena. Prva kršćanska crkva doživjela je svoj posljednji sud sredinom 1700-ih, otvarajući put novim, istinskijim kršćanskim idejama.

This work surveys the fundamental doctrines of the New Christian Church - about the Lord, the Ten Commandments, faith, charity, repentance, reformation, regeneration, and much more.

Šta treba da radimo sa svojim životima? Ovo malo delo objašnjava korake ka regeneraciji i kako možemo očistiti tlo i dozvoliti Gospodu da usađuje i neguje dobar skup ljubavi u nama. To je praktična knjiga; vodič za večnu sreću.

Svedenborg je bio i fizikalni znanstvenik i rani psiholog. Naučio je tehnike meditacije i bilježio svoja duhovna iskustva. U nekim slučajevima opisao je susrete s duhovno svjesnim ljudima s drugih planeta.

Swedenborg was well known for his vivid descriptions of spiritual experiences. In this manuscript, he describes a conversation he had with John Calvin in the spiritual world.

In this note, Swedenborg outlines the points he would make in a potential work on the history of the new Christian church.

This was a draft of an essay to be titled "An Invitation to the New Church". It's an outline of New Christian doctrine, and its points are made in other published works - but it's interesting how they were packaged here.

Ova egzegeza „Knjige Otkrovenja“ pisana je od 1757-1759, ali nije završena. (Kasnije, 1766. godine, Svedenborg se ponovo pozabavio „Otkrivenjem“, prepravljajući i sažimajući, i objavio „Otkrivenu apokalipsu“.)

Ovaj nacrt bio je preteča „Božanske ljubavi i mudrosti“. Opisuje kako božanska ljubav deluje u fizičkom univerzumu i u našem životu.

This is the Latin text of the first draft of an index made by Swedenborg for his 1749-1757 work, "Arcana Coelestia." The manuscript was followed by a second draft fair copy that was not finished, which is also available in this system. The entries in the two manuscripts have been synced up by the Heavenly Doctrine Publishing Foundation's editorial team, to allow for easy comparison.

As he was writing Arcana Coelestia, Swedenborg made an Index -- actually two indexes - a rough draft of one for the whole work, and and this one - a fair copy manuscript, left uncompleted - covering the first two volumes of the 8-volume work.

This is an English translation of the Latin index to "Arcana Coelestia" based on two draft indexes that Swedenborg made, with additional inputs from Beyer's index, and other places in Swedenborg's works.

This is a brief index of the subjects in the Protestant document "The Formula Concordiae". Swedenborg made it for his own use in writing "True Christian Religion".

This is a two-paragraph fragment of Swedenborg's thought on how the divine influence takes place in the natural world.

This is a sub-set of "Spiritual Experiences", sometimes called "minor" because Swedenborg used a smaller-sized diary on a publishing journey to Amsterdam.

This work dates from early in Swedenborg's transition from scientist to theologian. It's interesting; this shows his initial effort to explain the internal meaning of the Word.

In this study, Swedenborg summarized chapter-level explanations of the internal meaning of the "Book of Revelation".

Spiritual history traces the rise and fall of "churches" - the spiritual lives and worldviews of peoples. This outline draft describes the spiritual decline of the first Christian church and the beginning of the new Christian era.

This study is a nicely organized overview/study guide for the internal sense of the books of the Prophets in the Old Testament, and all of the Psalms. Originally translated by Rev. J. E. Schreck in 1900, it was updated by NCBS editors in 2015.

After publishing "True Christian Religion" in 1770, Swedenborg drafted these accounts of some spiritual experiences as potential additions to the main work.

This work is somewhat unique amongst Swedenborg's writings; it's the only one that was both published AND unfinished. It's a transitional work, between Swedenborg's scientific career and his theological one. In it, he describes the generation and formation of the soul. The work is dramatic in form, and allegorical. The first two Parts present a succession of six Scenes or Acts. Underlying the play, though, you can see Swedenborg's cutting-edge scientific understanding, in 1745.

In this brief unfinished work, Swedenborg looks at the text of the first 3 chapters of Genesis, and begins to explain how the literal text can be interpreted in the light of its internal meaning, and by what was known from the science of the day.

In this journal from 1744, Swedenborg logged his dreams and then the spiritual experiences that he started having. It wasn't intended for publication. Instead, with his growing interest in human psychology, it seems to be an attempt by Swedenborg to start tracking and analyzing his own experiences as data.

The present translation of Swedenborg's treatise "De Via ad Cognitionem Animae" is by James John Garth Wilkinson, M. D., and is reprinted, with some revision, from the first edition of the Posthumous Tracts. In the second reference Dr. Tafel assigns to it the date 1738 and lists it as number 53 in the "Chronological Account." From the contents of this paper it appears that it marks the author's passage from his preliminary investigations concerning the nature of the soul to the more thorough methods which reached their first culmination in his Economy of the Animal Kingdom.

The full title of this translation is "THE WORD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT EXPLAINED". Swedenborg's interests gradually shifted from the physical sciences to life sciences -- biology, anatomy, and the human body -- especially the brain. He was exploring the interaction between the soul and the body, and - more and more - felt that he needed to approach the topic from a spiritual perspective, i.e. that anatomy wasn't going to find the soul -- but that human spirituality was a deep reality that needed to be better understood. In this work, which is seen by Swedenborg scholars as being transitional, he focuses hard on trying understand and explain the Bible's inner meaning.
