'an intriguing exploration of the many roles that angels have
played in spiritual life.' - The Sunday Times: Nick Rennison 'In a
2016 poll, one in 10 Britons claimed to have experienced the
presence of an angel, while one in three remain convinced that they
have a guardian angel. These are huge numbers and mean that, on
some counts, angels are doing better than God.' In the secular,
sceptical, post-Christian world of the West, continuing faith in
angels is both anomaly and comfort. But what exactly are angels,
and why have so many in different times and contexts around the
globe believed in them? What is their history and role in the great
faiths and beyond their walls? Are angels something real, a
manifestation of divine concern? Or part of the poetry of religion?
And can they continue to illuminate a deeper truth about human
existence and the cosmos? These are not new questions. They have
been asked over millennia, right up to the present day, as writer,
journalist and broadcaster Peter Stanford explores in Angels, his
latest investigation into the history, theology and cultural
significance of religious ideas. 'There is no better navigator
through the space in which art, culture and spirituality meet than
Peter Stanford' Cole Moreton, Independent on Sunday
