Angels and Aliens: The Fall of Man

• Watchlist

We are all familiar with Angels. In churches, we see them in stained-glass windows, sculpted as statues and painted on altarpieces. We find them on greeting cards, on the tops of Christmas trees and we even dress up children to look like them. Indeed, in our imagination they look positively human with the exception that, unlike us, they have wings. Is any of this true and if it is, might "Angel" simply be a name for an extraterrestrial? In this series of lectures Adrian Gilbert (renowned author and lecturer) examines the subject of angelology in depth, both from the perspective of the biblical scriptures and that of other cultures. Explore the story of Adam and Eve, relating the story to Hermetic teachings, the Book of Enoch and Greek mythology as it relates to Angels and the possibility that extraterrestrials visited earth in ancient times.
