From Booklist
It was bound to happen. With angels as the subject of a growing number of books and angel gifts appearing in stores and catalogs, a reference book couldn't be far behind. This dictionary, by two firm believers in angels, has 300 entries discussing angels across religious traditions, including New Age thought. Lewis is the author of several other Gale titles, including The Dream Encyclopedia [RBB N 15 95] and The Encyclopedia of Afterlife Beliefs and Phenomena [RBB Ap 15 95].
Angels in various religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism) are treated, along with well-known angels, such as Michael and Gabriel, and obscure ones like Abdiel and Hadraniel. There is coverage of guardian angels and fallen angels and biblical figures associated with angels. Angels in art, architecture, film, TV, and music, as well as literature about angels, from Dante to today's New Age writers, are also included. In addition to treating angels from the point of view of religion, they are also discussed in terms of the occult and metaphysics, with entries on UFOs, fairies, and witches. There are brief bibliographies at the end of entries, with sources ranging from The Encyclopedia of Religion to A Treatise on Angel Magic. The beautiful religious art featuring angels doesn't reproduce too well in black and white. Appendixes include a classified bibliography, a filmography, and angel resources: organizations, publications, retail and mail-order companies, and Web pages. A detailed index includes illustrations as well as text.
For public libraries where there is an interest in angels, from either a traditional religious or New Age point of view. Sandy Whiteley -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .
From Library Journal
Trying to catch the current wave of angel popularity, this source compiles angel facts and lore in short readable citations. Alphabetically arranged entries range from "Abaddon" (the angel of death) to "Zoroastrianism" (the ancient Persian religion that believed in the notion of angels as agents of God). Topics include how various religions view angels, artists' renderings, angel medicine, and angels in folklore and literature. Supplementing the entries is an appendix containing angel resources and an angel filmography (no ghosts or spirits) current up to 1994 although not complete (the film "Prophecy' starring Christopher Walken is not listed). For quick trivia, this book works, but for more specific and detailed synopses on angels, try John E. Ronner's Know Your Angels (Mamre Pr., 1993).?L. Kriz, West Des Moines P.L., Ia.

Both informative and readable, this book is a wonderful guide to the world of angels. It covers the topic from all angles and viewpoints, and is superbly cross-referenced. Great book!
Format:Taschenbuch
I have just begun reading this book. It is very interesting; however, it is not biblically acurate. On page xiii the author refers to "the protection and encouragement of human beings." He uses the scripture of Ps. 91:10-11: "He will give his angels charge of you, To guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone." This indeed is a wonderful scipture; but, it is not refering to people. It is refering to Jesus Christ out Lord and savior. Don't take my word for it read Luke:4 9-13. If you are going to qoute scipture try and use it in the context that it was intended and written. Thank you very much.

This book is well-written, informative, and entertaining. I enjoyed reading it, adding it to my reference shelf, and giving a copy to my mother for Christmas!
