It is the sequel to Swedenborg’sDivine Loveand Wisdom(1763) and deals with how God oversees human lifeand all of creation. It is based in part on a doctrinal treatise in theauthor’s posthumous workApocalypse Explained,which isinterwoven in the text of paragraphs 1135 to 1194.Swedenborg first defines divine providence and then states thepurpose and ideology of God’s foresight, that divine providence inall that it does looks only to what is infinite and eternal in orderthat there may be a heaven of angels from the human race. Variouslaws under which providence operates are explained, includingdetails about the true nature of the spiritual world, as well as thehope of salvation for all people. Finally, explanations are given as towhy evil and human suffering are tolerated.Divine Providenceranks second only toHeaven and HellasSwedenborg’s most popular work.
