description: This study presents the fantastic myths about the angels who were lured to sin and the proud angel who rebelled against God and was cast down as Satan. These tales, which have had a great influence on world literature and art, have also had a surprising importance for philosophy and religion. The author traces the history of these beliefs in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and assembles a variety of tales and superstitions--some grotesque, others quaint and humorous. Dealing with a basic theological problem, yet written in a simple, popular style, this book will find an audience among intelligent readers of all backgrounds.
