Description

The Book of Angels shines a light on little-known facts of angel lore that have been hidden away for centuries. Brought to vivid life through Ruth Thompson's stunning full-color artwork, this angel guide, now in paper, presents otherworldly beings of awe, mystery, and power--from Lucifer, the Bringer of Light, whose ambition sparked the War in Heaven, to Uriel, the most formidable of angelic warriors, to Azriel, the fearsome Angel of Death. A special section on Angelic Lore recounts stories show more from the Bible, literature, and history. show less

No prissy angels here! These are proud and bold warriors and heralds, along with accompanying lore. Very intense and dark artwork. I wouldn't call it goth, but it definitely could appeal to those of that inclination.

While religiously sketchy (ala rather apocryphal), this is a beautiful book and put some perspective on some of the oddest descriptions in the Bible. Amazing book and worthy of ANYONE'S collection.
