ANGELS: the Hidden World Around Us : What Bible Says, Tradition Added, and Why Difference Matters

What if the world around us is far more crowded than it appears?Angels appear throughout the Bible-at city gates, beside prisoners, in dreams, on battlefields, at the birth of Jesus and beside His empty tomb. Yet much of what people believe about angels today comes not from Scripture, but from centuries of art, tradition, legend and modern spirituality.ANGELS: The Hidden World Around Us explores this mysterious subject in clear, easy-to-understand language.Beginning with biblical encounters and moving through ancient Jewish writings, Christian tradition, modern reports and near-death experiences, M Jaikumar asks the questions readers really want answered.What do angels actually look like? Do we have guardian angels? Who are Michael, Gabriel and Raphael? What are cherubim and seraphim? Did some angels rebel? Can angels still appear today? Can believers command angels? What are "angel numbers"? And how do Judaism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and Buddhism describe heavenly beings?The book carefully separates what the Bible says, what later tradition added, what people report experiencing, and what remains a mystery.Written as an investigation rather than a technical theology textbook, it combines Bible stories, history, scholarship and fascinating questions about the unseen world.Above all, the book keeps one truth at the centre: angels may be magnificent, but they are servants. The glory belongs to God.
