Add to basketPaperback. He is the ultimate symbol of divine loyalty. He is also the demon of human slavery.The angel Abadiel, or Abdiel, is an ontological paradox whose name literally means "Servant of God." Across three millennia, that sacred title has been violently corrupted, transforming him from a paragon of virtue to an archetype of oppression.The Ontological and Esoteric Evolution of Abadiel is a comprehensive analysis tracing this celestial figure from his obscure biblical origins to his reinvention in epic literature, occult magic, and modern fiction. Discover: The Miltonic Zenith: How a minor name from the Book of Chronicles became the Seraphic hero of Paradise Lost and the definitive symbol of moral courage who personally struck down Satan.The Occult Taxonomies: Abadiel's role in Kabbalah and ritual grimoires like the Sefer Raziel, where he is invoked to fortify faith and spiritual resolve.The Abolitionist Subversion: The shocking historical context in which Abdiel was classified as the "demon of slaves and slavery"-a deliberate, ironic condemnation by Enlightenment-era writers of those who corrupted divine service into human tyranny.This book traces the angel's journey to expose a profound philosophical truth: obedience is morally neutral. It is the razor-thin boundary between devotion and subjugation, reflecting back either the glory of free-willed service or the terrifying reality of absolute, unyielding control. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
