| Summary | "Life of Emanuel Swedenborg" by William White is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the life of Emanuel Swedenborg, a notable philosopher and theologian renowned for his innovative ideas and spiritual visions. This biography explores Swedenborg's contributions to both science and theology, as well as the societal reception of his work during his lifetime. At the start of the narrative, the author details Swedenborg's early life, including his birth in Stockholm and his family background, notably his father’s role as a bishop. It depicts Swedenborg's intellectual development and early ideas about faith that diverged from mainstream theological thought. As he grew, he became known for his scientific accomplishments and literary contributions. While establishing his reputation, the narrative foreshadows his later profound spiritual experiences, positioning him on a transformative journey from a respected scientist to a visionary with claims of open communication with the spiritual realm. This introductory section sets the stage for understanding Swedenborg's complex legacy, which intertwines his theological explorations with his scientific inquiries.
