What is The Fall of the Angels (Themes in Biblical Narrative) about?
"The fall of the angels is one of the biblical narratives which, above all in the history of the bible's reception, have developed an extraordinary effect. In the biblical canon they appear just as hints (Genesis 6; Isaiah 14; Apocalypse 12). Little concern for the text as well as a tradition and reception not covered by the canon makes the narrative grow and change considerably, as well as freely negotiate in the popular media of iconography, liturgy and theatre. As a completed narrative the fall of the angels appears only in the literature of the apocalyptic movement. The so-called Henoch tradition provides revelations about the cosmos and the secrets of Heaven and Earth. Through this mystery our present world is coded as a battle between good and evil."--Jacket
