"Peers' insightful and wide-ranging study supplies a clear and
comprehensive history of the angelic image in cosmology and cult
during the formative period prior to Iconoclasm. The paradoxes of
the angelic body provide the proving ground for fiercely contested
and incompatible claims for text and image as authoritative
representations of the holy."--Jeffrey F. Hamburger, author of
"Nuns as Artists: The Visual Culture of a Medieval Convent"
"[Peers takes] the angelic experience as an instance of the
problems inherent in Christian representation. But both astutely
and elegantly, he treats angels not simply as an example but as
"the "most enlightening case if we wish to understand these
problems."--Anthony Cutler, author of "Imagery and Ideology in
Byzantine Art"
