The Encyclopedia of Angels

An essential work for anyone who wants to learn more about angels and the roles these beings play.

Angels are popularly recognized due to their strong presence in various cultures and religious traditions, as well as being frequently portrayed in film, television, and literature. What few realize is that there are various categories of angels, different origins presented by various researchers over the centuries, and an entire hierarchy to organize the order of these mystical beings.

In The Encyclopedia of Angels , author Richard Webster presents concepts that go beyond common sense, presenting the angel as more than a being with human features, endowed with a pair of wings and a halo. A comprehensive book, perfect for anyone interested in angelology and the generally curious.
