In 1902, a Swedenborgian church in Glendale, Ohio, commissioned a set of seven stained-glass windows -- each representing an angel from one of the churches in the book of Revelation -- as a gift for a sister church in Cincinnati. Made by the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the windows are a vibrant example of his stunning glasswork. After the church was torn down, the windows were put into storage and forgotten. Recently rediscovered, they have been restored to their former glory and are now part of a traveling exhibition called In Company with Angels. This companion book gives the history and the biblical background to the angels as well as insight into the lessons these angels can teach us today.
