Scenes involv­ing angels are extract­ed from the Jew­ish and Chris­t­ian Bibles and retold in spare, unadorned lan­guage. No con­text or inter­pre­ta­tion is offered to enhance the reader’s under­stand­ing of the sto­ries. High­ly tex­tured and styl­ized paint­ings add a mod­ern fla­vor. The inclu­sion of so many New Tes­ta­ment sto­ries makes the book unsuit­able for Jew­ish library collections.
