An interpretive exploration of Abrahamic story of angels as recorded in Genesis

Fallen Angels: Soldiers Of Satan's Realm by Bernard J. Bamberger is an interpretive exploration of Abrahamic (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) story of angels as recorded in Genesis, and its role in shaping western religion, philosophy, art, and literature. Providing the reader with a compelling and interesting collection of scripture based and Talmudic lore, including Lilith's creation and Satan's fall, and subsequent misinterpretations and misguided beliefs over the millennia, Fallen Angels deftly brings readers through some of the most engaging tales from the Abrahamic faiths otherwise hidden or forgotten, as well as what effects they may have on society in the west. Fallen Angels is very highly recommended reading, especially for students of the Abrahamic religions, including those searching for a more knowledgeable approach to Jewish traditions and teachings particularly, but the Muslim and Christian faiths as well.
