Investigating angels

For centuries, our perception of angels has been conditioned by the Church and its Doctors, yet their nature is unclear, both in Christian tradition and in Muslim and Jewish texts. Intercessors between the divine and mankind, good genies, guardians watching over our destinies: what are angels? What if everything is a lie, an illusion, a delusion? What if their true nature is more obscure, and could even threaten mankind? From Sumer to the prophesied end of time, from the revolt of some of heaven's inhabitants to their appalling punishment, this book follows the winding trail left by the angels, examining the writings and testimonies of visionaries, mystics and occultists, artistic representations and disturbing apparitions. Never-before-published documents and interviews shed new and sometimes disturbing light on these entities, whose substance and motivations go far beyond our understanding.
