A Drama of Creation; Sources and Influences in Swedenborg's Worship and Love of God
Inge Johnson

The Worship and Love of God is one of Swedenborg's most unusual books. A "poetic novel," it dramatizes the Creation and examines the life of Adam and Eve as the first truly united couple. Considered Swedenborg's last work before his spiritual renewal, the work was left unfinished by its author as he proceeded to his great calling of unlocking the secrets of the bible.
Inge Johnson, one of the world's leading scholars on Swedenborg's works, offers a scholarly look into a neglected literary acheivement. He examins this unique genre of the hexaemeron, ancient and modern philosophy, and scientific discoveries in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries come into play in Swedenborg's richly imagined and beautifully articulated world. Yet The Worship and Love of God also offer an intriguing glimpse into Swedenborg's future as a biblical exegete and revelator.
