Angels – a paperback edition of a sold out Fine Edition
This is a valuable book about the mysteries of God and His use of angels as messengers in biblical times. The author Adrian Roberts is a teacher with degrees in theology and classics, disciplines he uses to great effect in his scholarly, yet completely accessible text. The artist Pauline Jacobsen has produced stunning woodcuts. Her skill at using the grain of the wood has resulted in pictures which speak of the mystery of the book’s subject. The 22 full page woodcuts are in three colours, and the chapters are headed by one-colour blocks.
