Angels: Ministers of Grace

This is an interesting book that is divided into two major parts. The first is an attempt to tell you everything you every wanted to know about angels: Angels in song, Catholic tradition, and the Bible, all about the good and evil agencies not only in the Bible but in Gnostic literature, Satan, the love affairs between women and fallen angels, Patristic and Medieval angelologies, in later literature, the visual arts, in music and, finally, angel-like beings in other religions. The second part of the book is actually one long philosophical argument that attempts to prove that angels are scientifically possible. The argument starts with attempting to show that angels are clearly conceived to be a form of suprahumannes and that this view is compatible with modern theories of evolution. In many respects, the first part of the book is laying the foundation for this claim.
