Throughout the final twenty-seven years of his life, Swedenborg explored the realms of heaven and hell and spoke with angels about the nature of life after death, discussed with newly arrived spirits their misconceptions about the afterlife, and debated with devils or spirits from hell. An Enlightenment scholar, Swedenborg recorded these encounters, attested to God's will that humanity might know the truth of eternal life. "These narratives, translated by Swedenborgian scholars David Gladish and Jonathan Rose, have been selected from three of Swedenborg's works : 'Conjugal Love', 'Apocalypse Revealed', and 'True Christian Religion', and have been arranged by theme. Swedenborg's conversations with angels startle the reader with insights into the reality of the spiritual world." (From the book's cover write-up) TITLE : Conversations with Angels.
