Fallen Angels in Jewish, Christian, and Mohammedan Literature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025650913)

"Fallen Angels in Jewish, Christian, and Mohammedan Literature" is a profound scholarly exploration of the mythic origins and theological evolution of celestial rebellion across the three major Abrahamic faiths. Written by Leo Jung, this work provides a meticulous comparative analysis of how the concept of the fallen angel transitioned from ancient Hebrew texts and apocryphal traditions into the foundational narratives of Christianity and Islam.

The study focuses heavily on the interpretation of early sources, such as the Book of Enoch and various Midrashic commentaries, to trace the development of figures like Azazel and the Watchers. Jung examines the shifting perspectives on divine judgment, the nature of sin, and the relationship between humanity and the supernatural. By highlighting both shared themes and distinct theological departures, the book reveals how these legends were shaped by the cultural and religious contexts of their time. This volume remains an essential reference for those interested in comparative religion, demonology, and the history of religious thought, offering a detailed look at the mythological roots that continue to influence spiritual discourse today.
