Krátky popis
A gloriously illustrated overview of angels across art, religion,
and literatureIneffable, invisible, inscrutable-angels are enduring
creatures across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and human
experiences of the divine as mediated by spiritual emissaries are
an aspect of almost every religious tradition. In popular culture,
angels are often reduced to the most gauzy, sentimental, and
saccharine of images: fat babies with wings and guardians with
robes, halos, and harps. By contrast, in scripture whenever one of
the heavenly choirs appears before a prophet or patriarch, they
first declare ",Fear not!", for terror would be the most
appropriate initial reaction to these otherworldly beings.Angels
are often not what we'd expect, but it's precisely in that
transcendent encounter that something of the strangeness of
existence can be conveyed. Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology
is a follow-up volume to Pandemonium: A Visual History of
Demonology, and like the earlier title, this book offers an account
of the angelic hierarchies as they've been understood across
centuries and cultures and of the individual personages, such as
the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, who have marked the
mythology of the West.
