Synopsis

Christians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text—and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblically about the spiritual realm, especially because many books on angels teach speculative views or borrow their ideas from other religions of the ancient near east.

Providing us with context and biblical references that showcase how angels and demons are represented and how they interact with the story.

Goodreads review by Landon on February 14, 2025

This is perhaps the most restrained treatment of angels and demons I've ever read. I appreciate Gilhooly's caution, but I think he misses some of the broader picture that can be pieced together from the Old and New Testament about spiritual beings. The book doesn't say quite enough, even as most boo......more

Goodreads review by Seth on October 16, 2025

Helpful, but not without its flaws. You can pretty much read the first two chapters and last two chapters and be fine. Gilhooly puts angels and demons in their proper place, emphasizing the fact that they are mere creatures and Scripture has very little to say about them.......more
