The first volume of "Secrets of Heaven, " Emanuel Swedenborg's magnum opus, offers a unique insight into the spiritual message of the Bible. Opening with the creation story, Swedenborg describes how each step in the process relates to our growth and development as spiritual people. He traces the inner history of the peoples described in the Bible and connects their story to our own trials and tribulations, showing how the Flood represents the spiritual devastation that urges us to begin our regeneration.
