The Twelve Gates is an immersive introduction to Swedenborgian spirituality, inviting students to journey through Emanuel Swedenborg’s visionary theology as a pilgrim bound for the New Jerusalem.
Weaving together biblical exegesis, theological reflection, and the imaginative world of medieval pilgrimage, the course uses the metaphor of “gates” to structure a sustained exploration of prophecy, the human self, the Word, heaven and hell, judgment, charity, and salvation.
