Publisher's Synopsis
The Science of Correspondences Elucidated is a book authored by Edward Madeley that delves into the concept of correspondences, which is a fundamental principle in the study of Swedenborgianism. This book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the science of correspondences, which is the idea that there is a spiritual world that corresponds to the natural world. Throughout the book, Madeley explores the various aspects of correspondences, including its origins, its relationship to the Bible, and its significance in understanding the nature of God and the universe. Madeley also provides numerous examples of correspondences in everyday life, such as the symbolism in dreams, the use of metaphors in literature, and the imagery in art. The Science of Correspondences Elucidated is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both scholars and laypersons alike. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophy of Swedenborgianism or those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual nature of the world around us.1883.
