Swedenborg’s Sudden Choice to Translate Survey into English

We trace the evidence and connect the dots of what happened after
Swedenborg published the work Survey. It became the most intense
time of Swedenborg’s theological career. We travel to 1769 and
witness Swedenborg making decisions that would have ripple
effects throughout society in the centuries to come. 


We have the gift of using the unpublished NCE translations of
Survey in this episode. You can read the whole thing for yourself
when the NCE translation of Survey comes out in 2022! In the
meantime, explore Swedenborg's works available for sale and for
free download here:

All translations of Swedenborg's published theological works used
in this episode are from the New Century Edition.

ABOUT


"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
