ANGELS OF ALL FAITHS TAKE FLIGHT IN PROFESSOR’S NEW BOOK
Rabbi Rami Shapiro Talks about “The Angelic Way” on “MTSU On the Record”

(MURFREESBORO) – Due to an advanced case of laryngitis, Dr. Robb McDaniel, associate professor of political science, will not be the guest this Sunday, Dec. 13, on “MTSU On the Record” on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org) as originally planned and announced. Instead, McDaniel will analyze President Barack Obama’s first year in office at 8 a.m. on the Sunday, Dec. 20, program, health permitting.
At 8 a.m. this Sunday, Dec. 13, host Gina Logue will welcome Dr. Rami Shapiro, adjunct professor of religious studies and an ordained rabbi, to discuss his new book The Angelic Way: Angels through the Ages and Their Meaning for Us (BlueBridge). Shapiro’s book examines the role of angel-like beings in the Abrahamic faiths and eastern religions and their roles as metaphors to help humans transcend their ego-driven agendas to embrace a more holistic consciousness.
