Angels in the Bible
 

We are all aware of angels within our faith tradition. Some may even have a personal devotion to them. This study honors the belief in angels, even as it seeks to expand our appreciation of them.

It is not easy to study angels. Angels are spiritual, immaterial and invisible beings. They cannot be weighed or examined. They live beyond our senses. A study of angels, therefore, cannot be an investigation of angels themselves. Rather, it must review the way the Bible presents angels to us. That is what this study attempts to provide. We will examine Scripture passages in which angels are present and discuss not only what we can learn about angels, but also what we can discover about the relationship between God and ourselves.

In Angels in the Bible, Fr. George Smiga examines some of the Bible’s most fascinating passages about angels, exploring their ministry on God’s behalf and drawing insights for our own spiritual lives. Because angels are mediators of God’s presence and action, studying angels is studying God.

You are invited to become part of our lively, inspiring and enriching conversation as we dig deeper into the mystery of angels and our relationship with God.
