Die Hermeneutik des Boten füllt nicht nur zwei Forschungslücken – weder zu Rilke noch zu Klee gibt es eine umfassende Untersuchung zur Figur des Engels, welche in beider Werk eine zentrale Rolle spielt –, sondern sie leistet auch auf der Basis feinsinniger Bild- und Gedichtinterpretationen den Nachweis, dass die Engel Rilkes und Klees trotz ihrer divergierenden inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung aufgrund ihrer Verwendung in derselben Funktion miteinander vergleichbar sind. Beide, Maler und Dichter – so die zentrale These der Arbeit –, verwenden den Engel als Denkfigur, mit deren Hilfe die je eigene Ästhetik bzw. Poetik sowie das künstlerische Selbstverständnis reflektiert werden können. Es wird deutlich, dass die Figur des Engels ein für die ästhetischen/poetischen Probleme der Moderne, welche sich im Werk Rilkes und Klees spiegeln, besonders geeignetes Ausdrucksmedium sind.

"A gloriously illustrated overview of angels across art, religion, and literature Ineffable, invisible, inscrutable - angels are enduring creatures across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and human experiences of the divine as mediated by spiritual emissaries are an aspect of almost every religious tradition. In popular culture, angels are often reduced to the most gauzy, sentimental, and saccharine of images - fat babies with wings and guardians with robes, halos, and harps. By contrast, in scripture whenever one of the heavenly choirs appears before a prophet or patriarch they first declare "Fear not!" for terror would be the most appropriate initial reaction to these otherworldly beings. Angels are often not what we'd expect, but it's precisely in that transcendent encounter that something of the strangeness of existence can be conveyed. Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology is a follow-up volume to Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology, and like that earlier title, this book will offer an account of the angelic hierarchies as they've been understood across centuries and cultures, of the individual personages like the archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel who have marked the mythology of the West"--
