Ebook Dante and Swedenborg

To this question no answer could be given but by comparing the visions of Dante with something that could be accepted as a standard of truth on these same subjects, and such a standard could only be found in Revelation. But, as Revelation, beyond the bare indications of a few broad, general truths on the subject of the judgment and heaven and hell, has been believed to contain no particulars regarding the life after death, therefore there has been for the Christian Church no means of estimating the amount of actual truth in Dante's description of heaven, purgatory, and hell.
