Excerpt from The Secret of Swedenborg: Being an Elucidation of His Doctrine of the Divine Natural Humanity
The following essay comprises an article which, appeared in the North American Review for July 1867, and a large amount of additional matter. I had not space in the Review to do more than enter upon a theme previously so unwrought, and I am afraid I have done it only scant justice since. The subject is one however which invites and will well reward any amount of rehandling; and I cannot, just now at all events, afford the time to treat it more exhaustively. I am content to have outlined it in so conscientious a manner as that any one interested may easily work out the necessary details for himself; so I leave it for the present.
While deism as an intellectual tradition continues doubtless to survive, it seems at the same time to be losing all hold upon the living thought of men, being trampled under foot by the advance of a scientific naturalism. Paganism and science are indeed plainly incompatible terms.
