Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Dr. Adler takes an engaging look at the various images and hierarchies of angels ( including guardian angels), speculating on the existence of these creatures and the ways in which they have been viewed as objects of religious belief and philosophical thought. Mortimer J. Adler's book is an excellent modernization of Saint Thomas Aquinas's treatise on the angels. He begins with a look into the scriptural basis of angels, and what revelation tells us about their nature. Then he draws heavily upon Scholastic (really, Thomistic) philosophy to show how philosophical ponderings about angels — "minds without bodies" — elucidate our faith in their existence. For anyone with an interest in Saint Thomas, an interest in angels, or definitely both, this book is for you. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Mortimer Adler has always been ahead of his time. In 1982, before the current revival of interest in angels, Dr. Adler published "The Angels and Us", an engaging look at the various images and hierarchies of angels (including guardian angels). Dr. Adler, the bestselling author of "Ten Philosophical Mistakes", "Aristotle for Everybody", and "The Great Ideas", speculates on the existence of angels; why Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe in angels, and the ways angels have been viewed as objects of religious belief and philosophical thought. This is a wonderfully enlightening work on the affinities between angels and human beings. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
