Description
A Swedenborg Perpetual Calendar, originally published in 1902 by the Swedenborg Publishing Association, is a daily devotional calendar consisting of thought-provoking quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772), an Enlightenment-era philosopher, scientist, and mystic whose ideas have inspired generations of religious thinkers and literary figures alike. The Swedenborg Foundation’s new edition of this insightful collection not only includes modern translations from the New Century Edition, but also provides a fresh perspective on a variety of Swedenborg’s spiritual themes, such as divine love and wisdom, regeneration, divine providence, correspondences, and the afterlife.
Drawing from over twenty volumes of Swedenborg’s writings, this book distills an entire library’s worth of material into a single, accessible, pocket-sized guidebook. Thanks to the transcendent nature of the insights it contains, and the thoughtful language of the updated translations, this book can serve either as the principal compass or map for one’s path of spiritual discovery, or be combined with any number of other meditation programs, daily scripture readings, or reflective growth practices. The interior includes color illustrations and a golden ribbon bookmark. A useful tool for anyone in search of daily inspiration, A Swedenborg Perpetual Calendar is a timeless treasure that will help guide readers at each step of their spiritual journey.
