Existentialism was one of the most important influences on
twentieth-century thought, especially in the period between the 1920s
and early 1960s. Best known in its atheistic representatives such as
Sartre, it also numbered many significant religious thinkers. Anxious
Angels is a critical introduction to these religious existentialists,
who are treated as a coherent group in their own right and not merely
derivative of secular existentialism. The book argues that they
constitute a distinctive religious voice that continues to merit
attention in an era of postmodernity.
