Gathering of Angels: Angels in
Jewish Life and Literature, By: Morris B. Margolies
It is often thought that angels are not a part of Jewish
tradition, but are rather an aspect of Christian tradition. This,
of course is not true, most clearly evidenced by references to
angels in the Bible as well as in the daily liturgy. In A
Gathering of Angels, Rabbi Morris Margolies offers an in depth
exploration of angels in Jewish life and literature.
Morris B. Margolies, a professor of Judaic studies at the
University of Kansas and a former congregational rabbis, takes a
scholarly, almost wissenschaft approach to the subject of angels.
He provides a fairly comprehensive review of the appearance of
angels in all the major periods of Jewish history. In addition he
gives the historical background for all of the texts he mentions
and explores the context of each document. |
