Meaning of SWEDENBORGIAN

Webster's 1913 Dictionary
 
 Definition: 
  1. \Swe`den*bor"gi*an\, n.
    One who holds the doctrines of the New Jerusalem church, as
    taught by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and
    religious writer, who was born a. d. 1688 and died 1772.
    Swedenborg claimed to have intercourse with the spiritual
    world, through the opening of his spiritual senses in 1745.
    He taught that the Lord Jesus Christ, as comprehending in
    himself all the fullness of the Godhead, is the one only God,
    and that there is a spiritual sense to the Scriptures, which
    he (Swedenborg) was able to reveal, because he saw the
    correspondence between natural and spiritual things.
    
  2. \Swe`den*bor"gi*an\, a.
    Of or pertaining to Swedenborg or his views.
