The distinguished German theologian Ernst Benz documents the rich and fascinating life of Emanuel Swedenborg, who claims an exceptional place in history as both a scientist and a visionary. Also an active statesman, Swedenborg accomplished major engineering feats, contributed numerous groundbreaking studies in a variety of scientific fields, and played a prominent role in Swedish public institutions. "Ernst Benz's book offers the best access to Swedenborg's thought. This translation will serve many students, especially those of the Western esoteric traditions. The remarkable introduction by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke is simply the best and most comprehensive short text on Swedenborg I've ever read." ---Prof. Antoine Faivre, Sorbonne, Paris Author: Benz, Ernst.
