Swedenborgian New Church founder
An Address to the Men of Science, Calling Upon Them to Inquire into the Spiritual Truths Revealed in the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg
Robert Hindmarsh1787
IntermediatePrimary Sourcecomplete
This tract is an appeal to the scientific community, particularly the medical profession, to investigate the 'spiritual truths' revealed in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. It argues for a reconciliation between science and religion by positing that natural phenomena are 'correspondences' of spiritual realities and that materialism alone cannot explain the nature of the soul or the origin of life.
