A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A compact history of angels across Jewish, Christian, Islamic, philosophical, artistic, and popular-cultural settings.
Good starting place if…
You want a broad orientation to how angel language and imagery developed before deciding what you believe about angels.
Know before you begin…
Breadth comes at the cost of depth in any one tradition. Historical comparison does not settle whether angels exist or how to interpret a personal encounter.
