Biografi sunting

Swedenborg mempunyai kerjaya yang prolifik sebagai pencipta dan saintis. Pada tahun 1741, pada usia 53, dia memasuki fasa rohani di mana dia mula mengalami mimpi dan penglihatan, bermula pada Hujung Minggu Paskah, pada 6 April 1744. Ia memuncak dalam 'kebangkitan rohani' di mana dia menerima wahyu bahawa dia telah dilantik oleh Tuhan Yesus Kristus untuk menulis Doktrin Syurgawi untuk memperbaharui Kekristianan.[7] Menurut Doktrin Surgawi, Tuhan telah membuka mata rohani Swedenborg sehingga sejak itu, dia dapat dengan bebas melawat surga dan neraka untuk bercakap dengan malaikat, iblis dan roh lain dan Pengadilan Terakhir telah terjadi tahun sebelumnya, pada 1757.[8]

Selama 28 tahun terakhirnya, Swedenborg menulis 18 karya teologi yang diterbitkan-dan beberapa lagi yang tidak diterbitkan. Beliau menamakan dirinya "Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ" dalam True Christian Religion,[9] yang diterbitkan sendiri.[10] Sesetengah pengikut Doktrin Syurgawi percaya bahawa karya-karya teologinya, hanya orang-orang yang diterbitkan oleh Swedenborg sendiri sepenuhnya diilhamkan sepenuhnya.[11] Lain-lain telah menganggap semua karya teologi Swedenborg sebagai terinspirasi sama, dengan mengatakan misalnya bahawa hakikat bahawa beberapa karya "tidak ditulis dalam bentuk akhir edited untuk penerbitan tidak membuat satu pernyataan yang kurang dapat dipercaya daripada pernyataan dalam mana-mana karya lain".[12] Gereja Baru, pergerakan keagamaan baru yang terdiri daripada beberapa denominasi Kristian yang berkaitan dengan sejarah, menghormati tulisan Swedenborg sebagai wahyu.[13][14]
