Angel angel shining bright in the soul at darkest night
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
One very interesting section of this work has to do with the abundance of angels that appear during the time of the Apocrypha and Psuedigrapha period, a time of crisis for the Jewish people in Israel. Celestial messengers and helpers multiplied so much so that according to Margolies they were denied a place in the Canon. This book is a gathering of Hebrew and Jewish angels from the Bible to Isaac Singer. It has brief introductions and explanations but is not a deep philosophical work, but rather a work of story and example. How to put it all together in meaning terms is I think left to the reader. But the author has done a very illuminating work of assembling and introducing the divine helpers.
