"Before the pharaohs, before the builders of the ziggurats, before the sand found its rest in the desert, our history took place -- the history of us, the angels." After sixteen years devoted to the theological study of the devil, José Antonio Fortea turns his gaze toward the angels. This book narrates the creation of the angelic world, the trial to which all spirits were subjected, and the fall of Lucifer... the protohistory of the angels, from the moment of creation to the defeat of the rebels and the beatitude of the faithful. Sacred Scripture is laconic regarding the creation of angels. Metaphysics, illuminated by the Word of God, can develop and expand, shedding light on the reasonable way in which everything could have happened. St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle as a framework, the visions of Sister María de Jesús de Ágreda as inspiration, and sixteen years of theological specialization. "You have only heard of him since he was already evil. But it was not always so. He, too, had his story. A story with many chapters of which you know only the ending."
