{"product_id":"2940014973281","title":"Heavenly Arcana: Genesis","description":"Heavenly Arcana: Genesis (volumes 1-11), otherwise known as Arcana Coelestia, is the first half of the magnum opus of the author Emanuel Swedenborg. Published over a period of 8 years, with many more years of research behind it, Heavenly Arcana reveals how the Bible is Divinely inspired, as it contains a hidden spiritual sense behind the literal meaning. In this way scripture becomes applicable to daily life. In the internal or spiritual sense of scripture various psychological states of the development of the human soul are described, which outlines the process by which a mere human grows and develops into a spiritual being or angel. Word by word the spiritual sense of scripture is described for the book of Genesis, with many passages being drawn from other areas of scripture to support each interpretation. All of scripture is revealed to have been composed based on a system of correspondences or representations, otherwise known as archetypes. The symbolism revealed can be useful for dream interpretation. Interspersed among the scripture analysis are accounts of the author's visions of heaven and hell in the spiritual world, explanations concerning the nature of the soul and angels, interpretations concerning the end of the age or last judgment, and doctrines concerning charity and faith. Students and scholars will find this to be an indispensible reference. This digital version combines the first 11 volumes into one edition, and all references have been hyperlinked. For those questioning how the Bible can be Divinely Inspired, Heavenly Arcana provides an answer that is more systematic and comprehensive than can be found in any other work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe complete set of \"Heavenly Arcana\" (volumes 1-20) is published separatedly, which also covers the book of Exodus and contains a hyperlinked topical index. The Heavenly Arcana is also available as part of the bundled set, \"The Divine Revelation of the New Jerusalem\" (volumes 1-32), which contains all the published theological works of Emanuel Swedenborg.","brand":"Theodore D.
