{"product_id":"sacred-scripture-white-horse-emanuel-swedenborg-9780877854142","title":"Sacred Scripture \/ White Horse","description":"Throughout his theological writings, Emanuel Swedenborg devotes more pages to discussing the inner, spiritual meaning of the Bible than to any other topic. In the two short works \u003ci\u003eSacred Scripture\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhite Horse, \u003c\/i\u003e he provides the spiritual theory behind the verse-by-verse analysis found in his multivolume works \u003ci\u003eSecrets of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRevelation Unveiled.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSacred Scripture\u003c\/i\u003e, Swedenborg explains how the inner meaning of the Bible relates to its outer (literal) meaning, and he cites numerous biblical passages to show how similar themes emerge again and again. He describes two distinct layers of inner meaning--the heavenly and the spiritual--and shows how an understanding of that inner meaning strengthens a person's connection with Deity and with heaven.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e White Horse\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a short summary of the spiritual meaning of the white horse described in Revelation 19:11. In form, what then follows is a series of statements about the inner meaning of the Bible with references to explanatory passages in \u003ci\u003eSecrets of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e. However, when read in sequence, those statements are also a concise summary of Swedenborg's theology of biblical interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e The perspective provided by these two short works allows the reader to see through the Bible's clouds of baffling, obscure, and seemingly inconsistent details to the power and unity of divine love and wisdom within the text. Students or seekers interested in Swedenborg's teachings about the interrelationship between the spiritual world and the physical one will find this volume a helpful guide. \u003ci\u003eSacred Scripture \/ White Horse\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg (NCE), an ongoing translation series. The NCE series incorporates the latest scholarship and translation standards for a more accurate and accessible rendering of Swedenborg's works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emanuel Swedenborg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877854149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877854142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Century Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Emanuel Swedenborg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072864415999,"sku":"9780877854142","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60030052-211e-4dc3-a475-77d856b20889.jpg?v=1685444386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sacred-scripture-white-horse-emanuel-swedenborg-9780877854142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
