Negative Positive
Title: Utterly disappointing
Review: This book is a real lightweight, suitable only for those with a complete ignorance of the tradition of the various branches of monotheism and who are happy with paraphrases of Swedenborg's work. Some of his work is quoted directly, but not much. Swedenborg himself is easy to understand, and there is no need for the condescending paraphrases of the author. His introduction, which takes up a good 20 percent of the book, is not needed for an understanding of Swedenborg and does nothing to provide a context for Swedenborg's work, which is highly original both historically and theologically speaking. I greatly regret having wasted my money on this book.
