Heaven and Hell - Emanuel Swedenborg (1758) - Part 1 of 29

Emanuel Swedenborg wrote this book, Heaven and Hell, in 1758 based on 13 years of experience of communing with "angels" as he referred to them.
Swedenborg's works have influenced many spiritual authors in the intervening hundreds of years, and has even inspired institutes who study his various books and messages.
His writings were heavily footnoted and referenced various sources, including many biblical references. You will find many discussions of his works, but a plain audiobook was a little more difficult to find.
This then is an audiobook that has been created to try and make the subject matter more approachable.
The works have been partially abridged, to remove references that detracted from the flow of the text and to reduce some of the clumsiness that resulted. We also chose where to sub-divide the book into "parts" for the benefit of the format. We, as such, recognise that some choices may be seen as arbitrary; we have, however, tried to remain as faithful to the text as possible.
