The Swedenborg Concordance by John Faulkner Potts

The Swedenborg Concordance is one of the most comprehensive reference tools on the writings of the eighteenth-century Swedish philosopher and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg to ever be produced. Printed in six volumes, The Concordance contains a subject index of nearly eight thousand entries spanning across Swedenborg's entire theological output, listing every instance where these terms occur along with concise and helpful illustrative quotations. The terms are arranged alphabetically in English with the supporting citations also given in English translation. The original Latin words of which the terms are translations are given beside the headwords of each entry.
 
The Concordance is a "must have" for scholars of Swedenborg, providing a much-needed shortcut for anyone researching themes and ideas across Swedenborg's works.
 
The six volumes are arranged as follows:
 
* Volume I, letters A-C + Introduction
* Volume II, letters D-F
* Volume III, letters G-J
* Volume IV, letters K-N
* Volume V, letters O-Sq
* Volume VI, letters St-Z + Appendix, Latin-English Vocabulary, Errata & Corrigenda
John Faulkner Potts (1838-1923) was a pioneering Swedenborgian scholar and clergyman who spent twenty-seven years compiling The Swedenborg Concordance, wearing out five typewriters and almost losing the use of his writing hand in the process. Potts was also a skilled translator and editor, translating the twelve volumes of Swedenborg's magnum opus, the Arcana Coelestia, between 1905 and 1910, as well as numerous other smaller works.
