Swindon Festival of Literature 2010 - David Albert Jones

DAVID ALBERT JONES – on a history of Angels.

What’s an angel to you?
Is it a white winged guardian, a messenger, or protector?
Who found angels?
What’s the difference between an angel, a god, a faerie, a ghost, or an alien?
What is it that makes the apparent existence of angels so enduringly powerful and attractive?
Can they teach us something important about human existence?

In his new book, Angels – a History, Professor of bioethics, David Albert Jones, looks at angels in art, angels in religion, angels in Literature, angels in films, and angels in the North.

His findings are fascinating!
