Angels in Religion, Art and Psychology
19.99 €
Angels are man's intercessors before God, heralds of His will and protectors of all creatures. We see them in the Talmud as servants of Adam in paradise, in the New Testament in the battle with the Antichrist, in the Koran as helpers of the Prophet Muhammad, and as guardians in the astrology of the Kabbalah. Angels are present not only in monotheistic religions, but also in most cultures of the world.
Over the millennia, angelology has developed, a special discipline in which theologians, philosophers, mystics, artists and even psychologists are interested. Artists, inspired by Scripture, depicted angels primarily as beautiful bodily creatures. But how did Francis of Assisi, Joan of Arc, or Carl Gustav Jung see them? How should we treat modern visions of angels, for example in altered states of consciousness? Let us turn to traditions and knowledge accumulated over thousands of years and try to relate them to today's practices and science.
