An A-Z guide to angels of all kinds, the second edition of this title provides a reference to the origins, natures, functions and maifestations of angels. With over 50 percent more material than the first edition, entries cover topics such as angelologies, individual angels, the importance of angels in major world religions, encounters with angels, and depictions of angels in art and popular culture. Several entries cover prominent historical figures such as Charles Lindbergh, William Blake and Carl Jung, who claimed to have experienced first-hand interaction with angels. Myths and folklore and biblical stories are also covered.

Encyclopedia of Angels
| Customer Rating: | | I haven't had a chance to really go through the book as of yet, but what little I did seemed interesting. |
A thoroughly researched and valuable resource
| Customer Rating: | | I must start off by saying that normally I find books of this nature to be quite disappointing. Normally, they offer only a brief description of a limited number of topics and I soon find myself looking elsewhere for research material. This was not the case with Rosemary Ellen Guiley's book and I was pleasantly surprised. Guiley has provided a very thorough (not to mention useful) tome that covers a multitude of entries regarding angels and similar spirits. Additionally, she covers many other resources, such as films and books, that deal with the subject matter of angels (as well as spirits and angel-like beings). I consider this particular aspect useful because it provides "jumping points" for readers to locate other sources of material or ideas. Most importantly, the revised second edition of this book provides a wealth of information related to apocryphal texts such as 1 Enoch and the story of the Watchers and the Nephilim -- topics that I have found extremely interesting and thought-provoking. While conducting the research for my own book, I often found myself referring back to Guiley's work for more information or to look up references to other texts. It was truly indispensable and probably the best book that I can recommend not only as a general reference for readers interested in angels, but for anyone conducting more scholarly research as well. |
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Angels - But Were Afraid to Ask
| Customer Rating: | | When I ordered this item, I didn't quite know what to expect - but I was absolutely blown away by this book. Of all the books on angels I've ever read, it's the most comprehensive, the most objective, and the most beautiful. The author covers just about anything and everything that has come from any tradition that embraces them, and the book is copiously illustrated with appropriate paintings, manuscript illuminations, statues, and any other form of visual depiction of these intriguing but elusive beings. I strongly recommend this book not only for angel enthusiasts, but for serious scholars as well. |
