Lars Bergquist's Swedenborg's Secret, published by the Swedenborg Society in 2005, is a detailed biography. Its strength is that it draws directly on Swedenborg's own journals and correspondence rather than secondhand accounts. Its limit is that it is published by the Swedenborg Society itself, an organization devoted to Swedenborg's legacy, which is worth knowing even though the biography's use of primary documents is real.
