Reissue of the sequel to the bestselling The Alienist
From the author of the beloved classic The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game takes us back to Barcelona in the turbulent 1920s and the Gothic universe of the Cemetery of the Forgotten Books
The nature and properties of angels occupied a prominent place in medieval philosophical inquiry. Creatures of two worlds, angels provided ideal ground for exploring the nature of God and his creation, being perceived as 'models' according to which a whole range of questions were defined, from cosmological order, movement and place, to individuation, cognition, volition, and modes of language. This collection of essays is a significant scholarly contribution to angelology, centred on the function and significance of angels in medieval speculation and its history. The unifying theme is that of the role of angels in philosophical inquiry, where each contribution represents a case study in which the angelic model is seen to motivate developments in specific areas and periods of medieval philosophical thought.

A luxurious gift pack of 20 cards featuring 10 beautiful fine art paintings of angels, suitable to send for any occasion, with decorative envelopes.
This title presents a celebration of celestial beings in fine-art paintings, poetry and prose. It includes themed chapters on Dear and Great Angel, Winged Heralds, Bright Squadrons, I Sat with Love, A Band of Angels and Jubilant Hosts. It includes poetry drawn from the world-renowned works of Edmund Spenser, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edgar Allan Poe and Christina Rossetti amongst others. The prose is picked from such universal masterpieces as the "Revelation of St John", "Saint Augustine's Confessions", "Dante's Paradiso" and John Milton's "Paradise Lost". This is a truly inspirational book that uses a beautiful array of words and pictures so show us angels in all their glory - whether as ethereal presences, awe-inspiring avengers, chubby cherubs or mischievous Cupids. All of us have lived in the hope and wonder that there is someone watching over us. Angels of love, angels of peace, angels of mercy, angels warding off fear and the forces of darkness and mischief. All these mystical beings are celebrated here in the immortal words of some of the greatest writers of all time - William Blake, Robert Browning, and Emily Dickinson. Beautifully chosen words and pictures present guardian angels comforting the sick and dying; angels of power and beauty singing the glory of God and filling the skies with light, ecstasy and majesty; and legions of warrior angels driving away evil with burning eyes and slashing swords. Images of heavenly figures are an important part of our religion, mythology and collective unconscious, commemorated in this book by magnificent art, prose and poetry.

The Truth About AngelsMyths about angels are everywhere. Do we become angels when we die? Are angels always hovering nearby, on guard to protect us from danger? Can we talk to them? Many of our ideas about angels come from the media, which is more interested in ratings and ticket sales than truth. It's important for Christians to understand what angels really are.Pastor Jack Graham walks you through Scripture, revealing the truth about angels and what they offer us: encouragement, counsel, confirmation of God's will, strength, protection, wisdom, companionship, and more. Focusing on practical application, Dr. Graham separates fact from fiction and demonstrates that the main role of angels isn't to draw attention to themselves, but to point us toward Christ.***"I consider Jack Graham to be a key voice for the church in these turbulent days. His commitment to Christ is unshakable, his clear teaching is inspiring, and his leadership is desperately needed. This book is yet another valuable contribution from a dear saint."--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author of Glory Days"This book is classic Jack Graham--great biblical teaching, wonderful stories, and terrific applications for readers."--Christine Caine, author of Undaunted and founder of The A21 Campaign
