Angels and Demons: What Do We Really Know About Them?

Rating:
Summary: Clear, concise, simple: for beginners.
Review: Authoritative and based on solid theological ground.
This book is the best modern introduction on angels and spirits. It is full of facts, citations, illustrations and lot of youthfull humor. I enjoyed it very much and in particular the appendix about the phenomenon of angelism in our society. A must read for all interested in theology, spirits and angels.

Summary: Very Informative and Full of information
Review: I enjoyed reading this book very much. Kreeft writes with a very logical approach while at the same time being very funny. He relies heavily on Thomistic metaphysics, which is fine, but at the same time could have used more clarification. Also, he did not address more controversial issues such as knowing your angel's name and "commanding" your guardian angels. However, I would still recommend this book as solid introduction to angels.

Summary: Excellent overview of angels
Review: I picked up this book quite at random a few days ago in the bookstore and didn't put it down until I finished it. Many times, the popular books on angels out there are made up of (uneducated) guesses or what feels good, but Kreeft uses reason, Church tradition and other philosophers (mostly Aquinas), in addition to the Bible, to support his answers about angels. It's tough to wade through all the pop-theology books on angels in stores and I highly recommend this as one of the few quality gems that makes a lot of sense. Truly a refreshing, intelligent, and thought-provoking read.
