Investigation of 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 men, good geniuses, guardians watching over our destinies: what are angels? What if everything was a lie, an illusion, a misdirection? What if their true nature was more obscure, even likely to threaten humanity? From Sumer to the prophesied end of time, from the revolt of a part of the inhabitants of the heavens to their appalling punishment, this book follows the sinuous trail left by the angels, looks at the writings and testimonies of visionaries, mystics and occultists, at artistic representations and troubling apparitions. Unpublished documents and interviews shed new and sometimes disturbing light on these entities whose substance and motivations are far beyond our understanding.
