Emanuel Swedenborg was an 18th century scientist, philosopher, and religious mystic who believed that the church of the day was corrupted and believed that his writings were the divinely inspired second coming of Jesus. In this episode, we discuss the niche (but very interesting) christian movement known as Swedenborgianism.
