Arcana Colestia was the first and most comprehensive theological work published by Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). The body of this multivolume work is a verse-by-verse commentary on the inner spiritual meaning of Genesis and Exodus, but Swedenborg also includes descriptions of heaven and hell gleaned from his spiritual experiences. Volume 3 deals specifically with Genesis 18-22, interspersed with discussions of children in heaven, marriage in heaven, what happens to people born outside the Christian church, and the nature of freedom.This edition is a reprint, with revisions, of a 1905 translation by John Clowes, edited by John Faulkner Potts.
