Editorial Reviews

Review

Emanuel Swedenborg was an 18th century scientist, statesman and visionary. Conversations With Angels: What Swedenborg Heard In Heaven is a compilation of his angelic encounters. Throughout the final 27 years of his life, Swedenborg explored the realms of heaven and hell and spoke with angels about the nature of life after death, discussed with newly arrived spirits their misconceptions bout the afterlife, and debated with devils or spirits from hell. As an Enlightenment scholar, Swedenborg recorded these encounters, attesting to God's will that humanity might know the truth of eternal life. The narratives in Conversations With Angels are ably translated by Swedenborgian scholars David Gladish and Jonathan Rose, and have been selected from three of Swedenborg's works, Conjugal Love, Apocalypse Revealed, and True Christian Religion, and have been arranged by theme. Swedenborg's conversations with angels startle the reader with insights into the reality of the spiritual world. Conversations With Angels is an engaging, fascinating contribution to angelic studies. -- Midwest Book Review


Product Description

This fresh translation brings together the most remarkable selections from Swedenborg's works about the wisdom imparted to him by angels. They reveal their natures, their spiritual loves, their heavenly education, and the true source of wisdom and beauty. These spirits share their knowledge for the good of those on earth, who are themselves created to become angels.

First Sentence:
Although the sacred books of many religious traditions speak of angels appearing to and speaking with people in the natural world, people often react incredulously when they hear that, in the eighteenth century, Emanuel Swedenborg, one of the greatest and most respected scientists of his time, claimed to have frequent conversations with angels. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Conversations with Angels: What Swedenborg Heard in Heaven, March 26, 2000
By Heidi Katchuk (Raleigh, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This is the first Swedenborg book I read and it introduced me to the whole fascinating world of his visions. I have read numerous books on angelic encounters, life after death, near death experiences, etc., but this book is truly unique. In this book, Swedenborg speaks about his experiences as he passes into the realms of heaven and encounters angels. He relates answers to questions he poses to the angels, things like:"Please teach me what happiness is." The angels respond, "Love in action gives a feeling of happiness. In heaven it acts with widsom, in hell with folly. Either way it makes its subect happy."

Unlike some books about channeling and similar processes, I had no trouble believing and understanding that the messages in this book were genuine. I felt comfortable with the fact that Swedenborg really spoke with higher realms and wasn't just creating this in his own mind.

If you're looking for an inspiring book to help you understand life on many levels, and are tired of the myriad NDE and angelic encounter books that abound, you'll enjoy this one!

3.0 out of 5 stars VALUABLE AS OUTPUT OF A HIGH GENIUS, October 17, 2002
By A Customer
By all accounts Swedenborg was both a high genius and, in his later years, psychic...focused on developing a world view that encompassed heaven and hell, angels etc. As such this book is a collection of many of his remarks about the afterlife and heaven and hell. It has a dated feel in the sense that Swedenborgs views are firmly those of someone writing over 200 years ago...and it is a puzzle how to reconcile them with more "modern" writers/travellers on the path. The charitable view would be that, if what Swedenborg says is somehow true, then it is also filtered through the mindset of someone of his era (just as must be true of someone of our own era). This "dated" aspect of his ideas greatly reduced their value for me...but some of his ideas (eg about how we create our own heavens and hells) cannot be found elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fabulous Read, July 26, 2008
This book is a compilation of Swedenborg's visits to Heavens. His incredible ability to converse with different angels, and unquenched thirst for truth paired with the mind and the skill of the top scientist of his time, gives us an opportunity to be a part of fascinating adventures and receive the truth of realms beyond the physical. This particular translation (from Latin) seems to be more accurate and easier to read than other published works of Emanuel Swedenborg.
