In \u003ci\u003eSurvey, \u003c\/i\u003e Swedenborg discusses some key tenets of Christian doctrine, both Catholic and Protestant, and describes how his own theology differs from it. He focuses on key concepts such as the Trinity, the nature of faith and charity, and the spiritual nature of the Last Judgment described in the book of Revelation. Taken as a whole, the piece is a brief summation of the doctrines that Swedenborg felt were critical for the coming spiritual age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul-Body Interaction\u003c\/i\u003e addresses a crucial area of Swedenborg's thought: the way that life flows from the transcendent God into all living things. Swedenborg describes the nature and structure of the spiritual world, including heaven, hell, and the intermediate world of spirits, and describes how the higher levels of being reflect a more perfect conjunction with God. He also traces the flow of the Lord's love and wisdom into the soul of all living people, showing how it gives life regardless of their current spiritual state. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish nobleman widely known as a scientist, engineer, inventor, and (in later life) visionary theologian. A graduate of Uppsala University, he spent most of his career as an overseer on Sweden's Board of Mines, and he was also a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and an active member of the Swedish parliament. He is best known for his prolific theological writings, which he produced and published following a spiritual awakening in his mid-fifties, and for the substantial influence those works have had on philosophical thought and spiritual\/religious movements in the centuries since his death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jonathan S.
