Emanuel Swedenborg asserted that his entry into the field of theological study was in response to a divine vision and call and that his spiritual senses were opened so that he might be in the spiritual world as consciously as in the material world. Swedenborg devoted enormous energy to interpreting the Bible, writing some 30 volumes from 1749 to 1771, all in Latin and the major part anonymously.
