Emanuel Swedenborg was a Swedish Christian theologian, scientist, philosopher, and mystic renowned for his book on the afterlife, Heaven and Hell. He transitioned from a successful career as an inventor and scientist to a spiritual phase in his mid-50s, during which he experienced a “spiritual awakening.” Claiming to have received revelations and been chosen by Jesus Christ, he wrote The Heavenly Doctrine to reform Christianity. Swedenborg spent his last 28 years producing numerous theological works, some of which are still unpublished, significantly influencing the beliefs of the Swedenborgianism denomination.
