The Angels. The History and Typology


BUY NOW: 

Is there anything more popular than an angel, regardless of beliefs? Angels - real entities or creations of the imagination, beings of flesh and blood or pure spirit - occupy a singular place in our culture. On the threshold of the third millennium, their presence - profane and sacred - shines more than ever in a world in search of values. What is an angel? What is their nature and role? And what are their functions and hierarchy?

 

This book reveals the origin of angels, their image in the Bible and the New Testament; their relationships with men and with God; the protections they offer us, with examples of prayers for their intercession; their representation in art. After this book, angels will no longer be just beautiful winged beings, but will appear as real actors in the history of the world, with all the richness of a "past" and the symbolism that corresponds to them.
