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. 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.
For an introduction
to the teachings, read An Overview of the Heavenly
Doctrines
If you are
interested in knowing which books were published by Swedenborg during his
life time, which books were published by others after his death, along with
