E-book A Dictionary of Angels : Including the Fallen Angels
Some years ago when I started "collecting" angels as a literary diversion, it was certainly with no thought of serving as their archivist, biographer, and finally as their lexicographer. Such an idea did not occur to me-indeed, could not have occurred to me-until I had corralled a sufficient number of the heavenly denizens to make a dictionary of them feasible. At first I thought that angels, named angels, were to be found only in theBible. I soon learned that, on the contrary, the Bible was the last place to look for them. True, angels are mentioned frequently enough in both the Old and New Testaments, but they are not named, save in two or three instances. Virtually all the named angels in this compilation are culled from sources outside Scripture.' Of the books in the New Testament, while the Synoptic Gospels and the Pauline Epistles have been longtime favorites of mine, the book of Revelation always held a particular fascination.
for me, mainly because, I believe, ofits apocalyptic imagery and involvenlent with angels. I read
the book often.
