About This Book

The author argues that passages commonly read as predicting the destruction of the material universe instead concern the internal condition of the church and the human mind, not physical annihilation. He critiques literalist readings for producing absurd doctrines, outlines a doctrine of correspondence that distinguishes genuine spiritual representation from mere metaphor, and maintains that every part of Scripture has an interior sense. Prophetic images are reinterpreted as signs of the loss of heavenly charity and faith at the close of an early Christian age, framing eschatology as spiritual transformation from a Swedenborgian perspective.
