Description: "Two short works, which Emanuel Swedenborg originally published separately, containing his teachings on religious faith and its connection with the way one lives. In "Life," Swedenborg focuses on regeneration (the conscious process of spiritual rebirth) and interprets the Ten Commandments in light of people's choices between good and evil. In "Faith," he rejects the notion of faith without rational sense, and he emphasizes that true faith can occur only in tandem with love and kindness for others"--
