Per Carol 11/4/14 - do not renew Global Listing This website has been developed by the Swedenborg Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to help people learn about Emanuel Swedenborg. We are currently in the process of creating a new translation of his works from the original Latin, and we also keep older translations in print for those who prefer them. We also produce contemporary books and videos on Swedenborg’s ideas and how they relate to spiritual growth as well as providing in-person and online venues for asking questions and sharing experiences. The Swedenborg Foundation was founded in 1849 and chartered by the state of New York in 1850 as the American Swedenborg Printing and Publishing Society. The sole purpose of this new organization was to print and distribute the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. In 1928 the name was changed to the Swedenborg Foundation and the purposes broadened to include publication of closely related works and educational programs. Through its publications efforts, the Foundation has distributed or sold hundreds of thousands of copies of Swedenborg's works and related materials the world over. The Foundation operates as an independent, nonprofit, and charitable corporation dependent on public support.
