About This Book
Visionary accounts describe conversations with spirits and angels who are said to be inhabitants of other earths and planets, reporting the landscapes, social organization, worship, and moral temper of worlds associated with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon, and starry heavens. The narratives contrast communal, family-centered societies—where modest needs, childrearing, and absence of covetousness are emphasized—with worlds shaped by dominion and accumulated wealth, and explain theological reasons for the Lord's incarnation on our earth. Sections proceed planet by planet and in the starry heaven, noting how spirits appear and how heavenly order corresponds to human interiors.
