THEOLOGICAL WORKS.

1. Arcana Cœlestia, or Heavenly Mysteries contained in the Sacred Scriptures or word of the Lord, manifested and laid open, in an explanation of the books of Genesis and Exodus, interspersed with relations of wonderful things seen in the World of Spirits, and the Heaven of Angels. London, from 1747 to 1758, in 8 vols. 4to.

"In this work the reader is taught to regard the letter of the Sacred Scriptures as the repository of holy and divine things within; as a cabinet containing the infinite treasures and bright gems of spiritual and celestial wisdom; as a throne, whereupon the Great Jehovah sitteth; and therefore must needs feel himself impressed with a wonderful reverence towards this holy book, grounded not in a mere blind assent to its sanctity, as resulting from education only, but in a real inward perception thereof, as the effect of a genuine conviction wrought in the understanding. In this case all the apparent inconsistencies and contradictions of the letter vanish, and no longer give offence, being all found reconcilable in the real spiritual and celestial senses which they contain. What before seemed nugatory and trifling, when viewed only in its outward form and figure, now acquireth a divine weight and consequence, by being viewed as to its internal form and spirit; and thus all the parts of the letter are justified as worthy of God to dictate, and as, in some respect, more or less remote, conducive to the spiritual use and benefit of man."
