Swē'den-bôr'gi-an1, n.
n. One who holds the doctrines of the New Jerusalem church, as taught by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and religious writer (born A. D. 1688, died 1772), who claimed to have direct intercourse with the spiritual world, through the opening of his spiritual senses in 1745, and who taught that the Lord Jesus Christ, as comprehending in himself all the fullness of the Godhead, is the one only God; that there is a spiritual sense to the Scriptures, and that a good life consists in shunning evils as sins against God.
