Who Swedenborg Met From the Bible and Why It Doesn’t Matter

This week, Inside Off The Left Eye, we dig into the dynamic between characters in the Bible being historical (certain ones anyway) versus symbolic. With the help of Dr. Jonathan Rose, we explore how angels understand the Bible and dip into Swedenborg’s exchange with the philosopher Oetinger, who wanted to know which people from the Bible Swedenborg had met.

Om Podcasten

"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.
