Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Kingdom of Heaven as Seen by Swedenborg
Swedenborg's theological works. Being naturally Of a sceptical turn of mind, I had gradually discarded the evangelical theology in which I had been brought up and, in early manhood, I found myself an unwilling and, now and then, a despairing Agnostic. The uni verse seemed to me like a vast machine, grinding along its resistless and remorseless way to no end, or to none that man could discern, or, discerning, could either retard or accelerate he himself being but a tiny piece Of that great mechanism, and helplessly carried along with it, while hugging to himself the illusion that he contributed to its movement.
