'An intriguing exploration of the many roles that angels have played in spiritual life.' - The Sunday Times: Nick Rennison 'In a 2016 poll, one in 10 Britons claimed to have experienced the presence of an angel, while one in three remain convinced that they have a guardian angel. These are huge numbers and mean that, on some counts, angels are doing better than God.' In the secular, sceptical, post-Christian world of the West, continuing faith in angels is both anomaly and comfort. But what exactly are angels, and why have so many in different times and contexts around the globe believed in them? What is their history and role in the great faiths and beyond their walls? Are angels something real, a manifestation of divine concern? Or part of the poetry of religion? And can they continue to illuminate a deeper truth about human existence and the cosmos? These are not new questions. They have been asked over millennia, right up to the present day, as writer, journalist and broadcaster Peter Stanford explores in Angels, his latest investigation into the history, theology and cultural significance of religious ideas. 'There is no better navigator through the space in which art, culture and spirituality meet than Peter Stanford' Cole Moreton, Independent on Sunday

A History of Angels as told by Archangel Gabriel is the first book of The Gabriel Trilogy by Northcote artist and sculptor Rodford Belcher. Published by Croxton House, A History of Angels is an incredible insight into the realm of Angels as told to the author by Archangel Gabriel. After ten years working in animation and graphics, Rodford grew disillusion and walked away from his career. He set off around Australia in an old truck and ended up living in a tent in Broome WA, where his desire to create art returned. He started to have the most beautiful dreams about colourful spirits that were trying to help him through a time of great personal confusion and pain. His art became a medium to communicate with his soul. "I could never go back to commercial art again after this epiphany," he says. "My art became my solace and vehicle for self discovery." Encouraged to write down the origins of his work and their spiritual connections, Rodford discovered a new creative way to access his soul, through writing. With the guidance of author Mary Ryllis Clark, Rodford was encouraged to write his thoughts into a manuscript, resulting in The Gabriel Trilogy manuscripts, a three year writing odyssey. Rodford's meeting with Archangel Gabriel changed his life and the way he viewed himself and the known universe. The conversation began with a simple question that resulted in a vision that lasted ten days detailing the modern history of angels, fallen and gods. A History of Angels is not just a classic tale of the esoteric but a fascinating story of one man's desire to better understand the world he lives in.

From the bestselling author of The Secret History of the World, an exploration of the mystical forces that shape and protect us The Sacred History is an account of the workings of the supernatural in history. It tells the epic story of angels, from Creation, to Evolution through to the operations of the supernatural in the modern world. This tale of how people and peoples have been helped by angels and other angelic beings is woven into a spellbinding narrative that brings together Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Elijah, Mary and Jesus, Mohammed, Joan of Arc, the angels who helped Hungarian Jews persecuted by the Nazis, and stories from African, Native American and Celtic traditions. Told from the spiritual point of view, The Sacred History relates every betrayal, every change of heart, every twist and turn, everything that looks like a coincidence, every portent, every clue, every defeat, every rescue moments before the prison door clangs shut. This is the angelic version of events.

Both collectively and individually we have a deep and abiding fascination with angels. This book explores depictions of angels in the visual arts and in scripture and associated apocryphal and mystical writings, specifically in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and Islamic, Zoroastrian and other ancient and latter-day accounts. It examines the visual clues, artistic conventions and attributes that have been set down to help us to recognise angels in their particular roles and functions. Certain writings have had a particularly influential bearing on our understanding of angels. This text focuses on the hierarchies and orders proposed by the likes of Pseudo-Dionysius, St. Thomas Aquinas and others. In a new age of fascination with the metaphysical and supernatural (in film, television, popular mythology and literature), are we cementing or losing our connection with the authentic meaning and purpose that such vibrant and energised beings bring to our table? This book contains more than 30 illustrations in a central colour plates section. It also includes a useful glossary of terms and will prove a rich and enduring reference resource for libraries, as well as a stimulating go-to source for those interested in the world of angels and how human sensibilities and imaginative reasoning have enriched the subject, as a starting point for interreligious dialogue.

Humankind is not alone in the universe. Our companions are the immaterial spirit-beings we call angels. Angelology, A True History of Angels, discusses the history of the angelic community from their creation, the fall of some, their character and attributes, and the works and appearances of holy and fallen. Special attention is given to the controversial passages Genesis 6, Isaiah 14, and Ezekiel 28. Numerous traditional views of what angels are like in appearance, nature, purpose, and organizational structure are challenged by Scripture. Myths thought to be Biblical are exposed. Five appendices list every appearance and work of the holy and fallen angels.
