There is an entire realm of divine activity that human eyes cannot perceive, and angels—God's messengers, and expressions of His love—are an important part of this invisible world. Surveying the entire Bible, Martin Shannon focuses on 24 scriptural passages, providing the original text in the NRSV translation, along with his own commentary on how angels interacted with such figures as Jesus, Adam and Eve, Hagar, Jacob, Isaiah, Mary, and Paul. Each of his thoughtful essays is accompanied by a full-color illustration of the corresponding Bible scene, courtesy of such artists as Rembrandt, Raphael, Fra Angelico, Blake, Delacroix, and Chagall.
