Synopsis

“Fallen Angels” explores the captivating stories of angels who defied divine authority, examining their profound influence on religious history, theology, and culture. This exploration delves into the Judeo-Christian tradition, revealing how these narratives have shaped our understanding of good and evil, free will, and the challenges to established power. Interestingly, interpretations of fallen angels have evolved significantly, with some traditions viewing their rebellion as driven by pride and lust, while others see it as a quest for knowledge or justice. The book uniquely analyzes these narratives as evolving cultural products, rather than focusing on the literal existence of fallen angels.

 
Beginning with an introduction to angels in religious tradition, the study progresses through key texts like the Book of Enoch and the Old and New Testaments. Major sections examine the varying motivations attributed to these angels, different interpretations of their punishment, and the evolving representations in art, literature, and popular culture.

 
Ultimately, “Fallen Angels” reveals how these stories reflect humanity’s ongoing struggle with moral ambiguity and the complexities of faith.

    "Walk in the woods with me." 
     
     
     
    That's the invitation award-winning author Lore Ferguson Wilbert extends to listeners in The Understory. 
     
     
     
    On this journey, Wilbert shares her story of alienation and disorientation after years of religious and political unrest in the evangelical church. In doing so, she looks to an unlikely place—the forest—to learn how to live and even thrive when everything seems to be falling apart. What can we learn from eroding soil, the decomposition process, the time it takes to grow lichen, the beauty of fiddlehead ferns, the regeneration of self-sowing seeds, and walking through the mud? Here, among the understory of the forest, Wilbert discovers rich metaphors for living a rooted and flourishing life within the complex ecosystems of our world. Her tenderness and honesty will help listeners grieve, remember, hope, and press on with resilience.

    Can two hurting people find love after a shared tragedy? 
     
    When her photographer fiancé is killed in an act of violence overseas, journalist Caroline James goes home to grieve, regroup, and take a job as editor of a local newspaper—all while dealing with a boatload of guilt. In no way is she ready for her fiancé’s brother to show up almost two years into her new life. 
     
    David Sloan carries his own burden of guilt about the senseless tragedy—and he never intended to contact the woman his brother was engaged to, even if she’d made an indelible impression on him. But when it becomes clear that a project near and dear to his heart would benefit from her involvement, he reaches out and convinces her to assist. 
     
    As these two hurting people work together to create opportunities for deserving students, will they also learn a lesson in the healing power of love? 
     
    Once again, bestselling author Irene Hannon takes readers on an uplifting journey filled with hope, heart, and new beginnings.
