Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Fine unread condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Publisher's Preface by Thomas A. Nelson, January 8, 1973; About the Author; Bibliography and List of Other Books by the Publisher. "A book about the angels. Herein are described the nature, role and duties of the angelic hosts, as well as their classification (the nine choirs) their mention in the Bible, their appearances, and the manifestations they have made on a regular basis to various saints. The author discusses guardian angels - those appointed to individuals, to dignitaries, to churches, and to nations - plus what our guardian angels do for us. Beyond Space is a work of scholarship, but also a simply written and enthralling study for popular reading." - from the rear outer cover. "We are returning Beyond Space to print because people want to know about the angels and because Father Parente's book goes a long way toward teaching us about them. Granted, this is a brief and somewhat popularly written treatise; it is withal a scholarly one and can well serve to pique our thoughts and stimulate our researches toward further understanding. Men, however civilized and citified and spiritually dulled they may be from the incessant "noise" of modern society, are still possessed of intellect, and in fact discern within the incohate reaches of their minds that man and the material world do not exhaust the possibilities of God's creation and that perhaps "beyond space," to use the author's expression, there exists and entire realm of heavenly beings. And this very real possibility enthralls the mind of man, making a study of the angels of profound interest. We of the Faith, of course, take the existence of angels for granted, but how much do we really know about them? The author has here come to instruct us with a broad sketch of the Church's teaching on the subject. May it serve to enlighten and inspire its readers and instill in them a deeper love for and devotion to the angels, as well as increase their love and respect for our holy Catholic Faith." - Thomas A. Nelson, January 8, 1973, from the Publisher's Preface.…
