Divine Positivity Bias and the Process of Rebirth | NCE Spotlight

How is humility a central facet to spiritual life? Might there be
more good in the world than we think and we’re doing better than
we suppose? We explore fascinating nuances in the process of
rebirth with Dr. Jonathan Rose, tapping into his insight from his
translation work as the Series Editor for the New Century Edition
translation of Emanuel Swedenborg's theological works.

ABOUT


Welcome to the NCE Spotlight, a standalone feature of the Inside
Off The Left Eye podcast channel, hosted by Chelsea Odhner. It's
your home for fresh insights from the ongoing translation of the
New Century Edition (NCE) of Emanuel Swedenborg’s theological
works. Dr. Jonathan Rose is the Series Editor for the NCE and
together we use ideas he's come across in his editing work as
springboards for spiritual reflection. 


Inside Off The Left Eye is an original podcast offering by the
Off The Left Eye team with new material every week coming to you
on Sundays, hosted by Chelsea Odhner. We study the historical
context of Emanuel Swedenborg's (1688-1772) life and works and
share fresh insights from the New Century Edition translation of
Swedenborg's theological works. Joined by translator and Series
Editor Dr. Jonathan Rose and Off The Left Eye host and
personality Curtis Childs, we follow threads into the past,
discovering that what we find often is eminently relevant to the
present.


Inside Off The Left Eye is a project of the Swedenborg
Foundation—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, independent, educational
organization for those seeking to explore spirituality and faith.
