Swedenborg’s theology is chock full of science

Posted on October 7, 2011 by

I have written about Swedenborg’s unique approach of harmoniously blending scientific principles with theological principles in my latest book Proving God.

Will scientists ever embrace “purposiveness” (teleology) in nature?

Posted on February 26, 2010 by

Those who are familiar with scientist/theologian Emanuel Swedenborg’s idea of spiritual causality understand that God’s influx moves as an orderly process from non-physical beginnings to physical results in the spacetime arena.
