Swedenborgianism

Swedenborgianism is a spiritual movement based on the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century Swedish scientist and mystic. It emphasizes that the Bible is divinely inspired and that the physical world reflects spiritual realities. Followers believe in a personal, ongoing connection with God through divine revelation and spiritual insight. The movement teaches that humans have an inner soul that continues after death, and that through divine love and enlightenment, individuals can grow spiritually, ultimately striving for a closer union with God. It highlights the importance of inner moral development and the harmony between the spiritual and material worlds.
