"Scribe of Heaven is probably the best reader's guide to Swedenborg's life, works, and influence ever yet written. These essays by a panel of outstanding writers and leading Swedenborg scholars comprise a magnificent feast for newcomers to Swedenborg and a digest of wisdom for those who have studied him for many years. Original research, fresh insights, and stimulating discussion are supported by the most comprehensive Swedenborg bibliography to date."
---Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, Chair of Esoteric Studies, University of Wales Lampeter.

"Inspired by an encyclopedic vision and written by an international team of experts, Scribe of Heaven is the most comprehensive and most reliable study of the life, work, and wide cultural influence of Emanuel Swedenborg that has ever been published. Both the general reader and the scholar will use it with profit and delight."
---Bernhard Lang, Professor of Old Testament and Religious Studies, University of Paderborn, Germany; and University of St. Andrews, Scotland

"For anyone interested in all the dimensions of the Swedenborg phenomenon (biographical, doctrinal, cultural, social, and bibliographical), this excellent volume provides the best introduction currently available."
