Synopsis
For readers touched by angel fever, Angels A to Z is the answer to their bibliographic prayers. Written by a recognized authority on nontraditional religious movements, the encyclopedia is a thoroughly fascinating religious and cultural exploration of 300 angel-related topics. Angels A to Z discusses angels across religious traditions -- angels in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and other religions, celebrity angels such as Michael and Gabriel, obscure angels still waiting for their big break (Abdiel and Hadraniel), guardian angels, fallen angels, Anaheim angels, angels in art, angels in architecture, angels in the media, angels in literature (from Dante to current New Age writers), and biblical figures associated with angels. You want angels, we got angels. Angels are also discussed in terms of the occult and metaphysics, with entries on UFOs, fairies, and witches. Resource sections direct the reader to movies, books, magazines, and organizations related to angels.
