Swedenborg's approach to proving the veracity of his theological teachings was to use voluminous quotations from the Old Testament and the New Testament to demonstrate agreement with the Bible, and this is found throughout his theological writings , since he rejected blind faith and declared true faith to be an internal acknowledgement of the truth. The vast use of these Biblical confirmations led a Swedish Royal Council in 1771 to examine the heresy charges of 1770 against two Swedish supporters of his theological writings : "there is much that is true and useful in Swedenborg's writings". Sigstedt (1952), p. 408. Victor Hugo felt that Swedenborg had "lapsed into madness" in Chapter 14 of Les Misérables.
