Angels and Us

Mortimer Adler has always been ahead of his time. In 1982 before the current revival of interest in angels Dr. Adler published The Angels and Us an engaging look at the various images and hierarchies of angels (including guardian angels). Dr. Adler the bestselling author of Ten Philosophical Mistakes Aristotle for Everybody and The Great Ideas speculates on the existence of angels; why Jews Christians and Muslims believe in angels and the ways angels have been viewed as objects of religious belief and philosophical thought. This is a wonderfully enlightening work on the affinities between angels and human beings.
