The Science of Correspondences Elucidated (Paperback)

1883. The key to the heavenly and true meaning of the sacred scriptures, revised and greatly enlarged by B.F. Barrett. The illustrious Swedenborg has been the appointed instrument, in the order of Divine Providence, for restoring the long-lost Science of Correspondences to the world - that "chain of golden links by which heaven and earth are bound in harmonious unison;" and this work is designed to answer, without any pretension to critical exactness, and in as plain and familiar a manner as possible, the inquiries which are continually and naturally urged, as to what is meant by this science - how a knowledge of it may be acquired - how its truth may be demonstrated - and in what way it is to be applied in expounding the Holy Word.
