Reviews
The Book of Angels will surely serve as a welcome introduction to the nature, order, and art of angels. We may, with the aid of the visual arts, stage a dialogue in which we can be called to venerate, pray with, and celebrate the angelic (pp. 100-111). We may not write by pressing our pen to a page. Yet we may lift our pen to leap over any act of writing. We may write of the angels as we lift our hands above the clouds and write with claps of lightning. Ryan HaeckerPeterhouse, University of Cambridge, 'Reviews in Religion and Theology', Vol. 27, Issue 3, August 2020 While it is all too easy to think of the various grades of angels as mere arbitrary invention to accentuate the degree of distance between us and the divine majesty, it is also as well to remember their other role of which Miller so effectively reminds us: that it can scarcely be only the material creation that God has made rich in diversity; it must also be true of that immaterial world that is so very much nearer to his own nature. - David Brown,University of St. AndrewsTheology, Volume: 123 issue: 2, page(s): 139-140
