Scholarly Journal | Swedenborg Library

Conspicere is a scholarly journal that publishes original material, academic or otherwise, from individuals who have spoken at the Swedenborg Library Chicago or by writers who feel they have something to contribute to discussions about the cultural significance of Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg, as well as topics broadly engaged by him. 

Although our journal often focuses on cultural history, it does not preclude devotional material or works of theology. At times, the journal will also delve into contemporary events, and we also seek to inspire greater engagement with Swedenborg’s works. We seek to mirror the way individuals throughout the centuries have used Swedenborg’s works to direct and propel their own ideas, as well as deepen their internal relationship with heaven.
