Fallen Angels

“Fallen Angels” explores the captivating stories of angels who defied divine authority, examining their profound influence on religious history, theology, and culture. This exploration delves into the Judeo-Christian tradition, revealing how these narratives have shaped our understanding of good and evil, free will, and the challenges to established power. Interestingly, interpretations of fallen angels have evolved significantly, with some traditions viewing their rebellion as driven by pride and lust, while others see it as a quest for knowledge or justice. The book uniquely analyzes these narratives as evolving cultural products, rather than focusing on the literal existence of fallen angels.

Beginning with an introduction to angels in religious tradition, the study progresses through key texts like the Book of Enoch and the Old and New Testaments. Major sections examine the varying motivations attributed to these angels, different interpretations of their punishment, and the evolving representations in art, literature, and popular culture.

Ultimately, “Fallen Angels” reveals how these stories reflect humanity’s ongoing struggle with moral ambiguity and the complexities of faith.
