About the Author:

"Donald L. Rose" was a Swedenborgian minister who was educated at the Academy of the New Church in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, and at the University of Grenoble in France. He served his ministry in Australia, New Zealand, France, and Holland. During nine years in London, he participated in the work of the Swedenborg Society.

Synopsis:

In 1996, the Swedenborg Foundation published "Conversations with Angels", revealing the wisdom imparted to Swedenborg by heavenly spirits. This companion piece presents Swedenborg's encounters with evil spirits, narratives arranged thematically by Donald Rose and newly translated by Lisa Hyatt Cooper from several of Swedenborg's works. Rose explains the nature of these experiences and of Swedenborg's experience of hell as the provision of a merciful God who seeks restraint rather than vengeance.
