Swedenborg Foundation Releases Latest Bible Interpretation Title "Ten Commandments" by Emanuel Swedenborg
West Chester, PA (PRWEB) December 06, 2016 -- The Swedenborg Foundation’s newest title “Ten Commandments: The Secrets of Spiritual Growth Found in God's Principles for Living” is now available, marking the first time four of Emanuel Swedenborg’s major commentaries on the subject will be available in a single volume. This special compilation will allow readers to compare and contrast Swedenborg’s unique spiritual interpretation of the Bible’s passages on the Ten Commandments across a seventeen-year span.
Although Swedenborg wrote about the Ten Commandments in many places throughout his writings, his most complete commentaries on the subject appear in four separate volumes: “Secrets of Heaven” (volume 7, published in 1754), “True Christianity” (1771), the short work “Life”(1763), and the posthumously published "Revelation Unveiled"/"Apocalypse Explained" (1758–1759).
Although many authors and institutions have interpreted the Ten Commandments, this book offers new and unique insights for spiritual seekers and students of Swedenborg alike because it requires readers to open their souls to the deeper lessons that can be found within the literal words of God’s commandments in a way that will lead to profound personal and spiritual growth.
“Ten Commandments: The Secrets of Spiritual Growth Found in God's Principles for Living” is available in paperback for $9.95 or e-book for $1.
Author: Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a distinguished Swedish scientist and nobleman who later dedicated his life to investigating the mysteries of the soul. He began to have visions of the spiritual realm that resulted in a stream of books about the nature of God, heaven and hell, and the inner meaning of the Bible. He devoted the last decades of his life to studying Scripture and sharing his own unique philosophies about this life and the afterlife with the world.
