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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Century Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877854340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158","brand":"Emanuel Swedenborg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42487321821365,"sku":"9780877854340","price":8.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0c13d2a8-8ac3-4383-aff7-fe7a354aa565.jpg?v=1667315608","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/survey-soul-body-interaction-9780877854340","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
