4.0 out of 5 stars Lots Of Bible Verse Errors In This Book!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
I have to commend the author for taking on such a huge task. I used to be a missionary so I am familiar with the Holy Bible. After that, I was a paralegal so I learned how important it was to cite law accurately in legal briefs. I found several inaccuracies made by the author in the Introduction of this book. (1) Page XII, paragraph 4, line 33 where he references Colossians 2:17 is inaccurate. The accurate verse is Colossians 2:18, so he was off one verse. (2) Page XII, paragraph 4, line 37 where he references Acts 26:38 is inaccurate. The accurate verse is Acts 26:28, so he was off 10 verses! (3) Page XXIV, paragraph 1, line 10 where he references I Chronicles 2:16 is inaccurate. The accurate reference is I Chronicles 21:16, so he was nine chapters off which is a huge inaccuracy as it is not talking about verses but rather chapters!!! Page 1, column 2, line 3 where he is discussing the angel Abaddon he gives the reference Revelation 9:10 which is inaccurate. The accurate verse is Revelation 9:11 so he was off one verse. All these inaccuracies make me wonder. What happened to the fact checker who missed all these inaccuracies when doing his/her part in this book? Mr. Davidson has many authorized accomplishments, so I find it hard to believe that he would make such numerous errors. Did the person who was in charge of setting up the printing press somehow get these verses mixed up? But in the end the author is supposed to be responsible for this. Because of the inaccuracies that I did find I have no idea of how many other inaccuracies there are where he references other books that are not the Holy Bible. I am only on Page 24 so there could be many other inaccurate Bible references. Just thought I would let people know this who are wanting to buy the book. When he gives any references from the KJV check it out and make sure their correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angels, Angels, and more Angels.
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2018

This is an incredible compendium of Angels. It includes the names and descriptions of Angels mentioned in various religious scriptures and literary works. Ranging from the Holy Bible to the Grimoires. So this book may not be for people with religious sensitivities. Most of its sources are unorthodox writings. As Gustav Davidson states in the introduction, “At first I thought that angels, named angels, were to be found only in the Bible. I soon learned that, on the contrary, the Bible is the last place to look for them” (P.IX). The author always cites the source from where he obtained the information about the angel or angel-related topic he is talking about. For the most part the information is accurate, but it does have its errors. As another reviewer has mentioned, there are mistakes in the Scriptural citations in the introduction. Another example of a mistake is found on page xvii of the introduction that reads as follows: “When Paul was caught up in the 3rd Heaven, he encountered there ‘angels of evil, terrible and without pity carrying savage weapons’.” It gives the impression that this quote is attributable to the apostle Paul, but it is not so. Although, a similar idea can be found in the Visio Pauli. However, it is actually closer to what is found in W.R. Morfill’s translation of The book of the secrets of Enoch (2nd Enoch), Chapter X verse 3. If anything, it should be attributed to Enochic tradition. Davidson also errs when he lists the term “Membra”, the actual spelling is Memra, which is the Aramaic term for Word. The illustrations and pictures of works of art depicting Angels are well selected. Although I wish all the Illustrations from Thomas Heywood's Hierarchie of the Blessed Angels had been included instead of just a few. Despite, the small errors that are found in the book, it is still an awesome resource. And one more thing about this book, it was featured in the film "The Prophecy" starring Christopher Walken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the narrow-minded
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
As some reviewers have complained about (and shame on them - this book's description makes no claim to be such a thing), this book is not specifically for one religion or another. It is a compilation of angel lore from many religions - both poly- and monotheistic. The introduction is an absolutely integral and necessary part of the reader's experience in understanding the book and the author's journey to completing it. As he states plainly, the Bible does not name angels, save but for two, so it is necessary in the journey to understanding angel lore to travel outside the box of a specific religion to create such a profound anthology. The angels' stories date back further than most currently existing religions, so, yes, there are hints to the polytheistic cultures that predate Judeo-Christian thought. This book is *not* for the devout who does not believe in opening the mind to other culture or religious belief systems. It is for those intrigued by the stories, lore, and history of angels - not as a guide to whom one should pray to for intercession, as in the way of strict catholicism. The appendix does contain sigils, charts, pacts, and "spells" - not as a way of enticing the reader to set aside their faith for a new one, but for historical education, as he himself was a Christian. The book is organized and presented well, but must be read from page one to fully understand the dictionary's entries, especially when coming from a single-religion knowledge background.

This work is beyond well researched ,it contains everything and anything which could be read on the subject.
This is one of those rare angel books which also covers the fallen angels and lends much detailed information about each and every angel .
This book is definitely a gem and a must have for anyone into the occult,angelology and or demonology.
