Emanuel Svedenborg (šved. Emanuel Swedenborg;[1] Stokholm, 29. januar 1688 — 29. mart 1772)[2] je bio švedski filozof, pronalazač i mistik.[3] Odgajan je u luteranskom duhu najviše zahvaljujući ocu, luteranskom biskupu Svedbergu, koji posle dobijanja plemićke titule, shodno običajima, menja svoje ime u Svedenborg. Mladi Emanuel počinje kao sveštenik ali ubrzo ispoljava veliki interes za nauke. Bavio se mineralogijom, anatomijom, astronomijom, matematikom, pa čak i stolarstvom izradom muzičkih instrumenata, lingvistikom. Imao je istaknutu karijeru kao pronalazač i naučnik. U 56 godini života je ušao je u duhovnu fazu svog života, u kojoj je doživeo vizije duhovnog sveta i tvrdio da je razgovarao direktno sa anđelima, đavolima i duhovima posećujući i raj i pakao. Tvrdio je da je upućen od strane Boga, Gospoda Isusa Hrista da svetu otkrije doktrine Isusovog drugog dolaska. Postao je najpoznatiji po knjizi o zagrobnom životu, Raj i pakao (1758).[4][5]

Svedenborg je imao plodnu karijeru kao pronalazač i naučnik. Godine 1741, sa 53 godine, ušao je u duhovnu fazu u kojoj je počeo da doživljava snove i vizije, posebno na Uskršnji vikend, 6. aprila 1744.[6][7] Njegovo iskustvo kulminiralo je „duhovnim buđenjem” u kojem je dobio otkriće da ga je Isus Hrist imenovao da napiše Nebesku doktrinu za reformu hrišćanstva.[8] Prema Nebeskoj doktrini, Gospod je otvorio Svedenborgove duhovne oči kako bi od tada nadalje mogao slobodno da posećuje raj i pakao kako bi razgovarao sa anđelima, demonima i drugim duhovima, i Poslednji sud se već dogodio godinu dana pre objavljivanja dela De Nova Hierosolyma et Ejus Doctrina Coelesti (u vezi sa novim Jerusalimom i njegovom nebeskom doktrinom), 1757. godine.[9]

Tokom poslednjih 28 godina svog života, Svedenborg je napisao 18 objavljenih teoloških dela - i još nekoliko koja su ostali neobjavljeni. Sebe je nazvao „Slugom Gospoda Isusa Hrista“ u Istinskoj hrišćanskoj religiji,[10] koju je sam objavio.[11] Neki sledbenici Nebeske doktrine veruju da su od njegovih teoloških dela samo ona koja je objavio sam Svedenborg potpuno božanski nadahnuta.[12] Drugi su smatrali sva teološka dela Svedenborga jednako nadahnutima, rekavši na primer da činjenica da neka dela „nisu napisana u konačnoj uređenoj formi za objavljivanje ne čini ni jednu izjavu manje verodostojnom od izjava u bilo kojem drugom delu”.[13] Nova crkva, novi verski pokret koji je prvobitno osnovan 1787. godine i koji se sastoji od nekoliko istorijski povezanih hrišćanskih denominacija, poštuje Svedborgove spise kao otkrivenje.[14][15]

  • William White, Emmanuel Swedenborg, His Life and Writings, 2nd Ed., Rev. (xx, 767 p.; London, Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., 1868) – This is the second of White's two biographies of Swedenborg, the first one published in 1856 (White, W. Swedenborg: his life and writings Bath : I. Pitman, Phonetic Institution, 1856) and this second one in 1867. White worked for the Swedenborg Society in London and wrote an affirmative biography of Swedenborg. However, he was fired for publishing spiritist books and selling them at the Society's store, as well as otherwise interfering with the Society's function. White's response was the 1867 biography, in which he, in Tafel's words, "turn[ed] a complete somersault in his convictions," and wrote a highly derogatory biography of Swedenborg and his teachings.
