Colville that explores the life and teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher, theologian, and mystic who lived in the 18th century.

It also examines his major works, such as Arcana Coelestia and Heaven and Hell, which detail his teachings on the spiritual world and the nature of God. The author delves into Swedenborg's views on the afterlife, including his belief in the existence of heaven and hell, and his ideas about the role of angels and spirits in the spiritual world. The book also explores Swedenborg's influence on other spiritual movements, such as the New Church and theosophy.
