Read the language of angels as sacred theology.
Why does Scripture speak of heavenly fire, wings, thrones, and radiant hosts? The Celestial Hierarchy considers these images as signs that direct the mind toward divine realities. Attributed to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, the work offers a brief but demanding encounter with Christian mystical theology, angelology, and the relationship between visible symbols and invisible meaning. This edition uses John Parker’s English translation.
