In transparency, I skimmed through this one and read the questions that interested me. It is definitely in the style of a pontificating professor... Lots of apologetic tangents that were non-essential for readers who already believe in the supernatural. Had some info, but not really what I was looking for.

Enjoyable, but I expected more references. There were quite a few statements that sounded suspiciously like opinions, and I never saw the background or reasoning behind them. Interesting start to studying angelology.

Rekomenduoju tiems, kas ieško knygos apie angelus ir šiek tiek apie demonus. Ne bet kaip, o būtent iš katalikiškos pasaulėžiūros. Ne per daug sudėtingai, labai aiškiai. Sužinojau begalę, ko nežinojau. Tokių informacinių knygų apie angelus nelabai ir žinau.

In this work, Kreeft provides the best exposition on Angels and Demons that I’ve ever encountered. Concise, dense, and filled to the brim with source texts, grounding his presentation in philosophy and theology. A great place to start for those who find themselves wondering about the subject. The author breaks down the topics in question and answer format, for ease of inward digestion. The reader can pick up and put down the text with ease.

Bonus: Appendix B, “A Snakebite Letter: Sex and the Media”, provides a modern take on C.S. Lewis’ “Screwtape Letters.”

A fantastic explanation of the angelic choirs. Kreeft's tone is wise, light, and comedic. This makes for an easy read for anyone wanting to know more about our angelic friends, and would be my first recommendation for anyone wanting to learn more on the topic

tPeter Kreeft’s Angels (and Demons) is a succinct response to the angelmania of the 1990’s in a question-and-answer format about topics such as “of what are angels made?” and “when did the angelic fall happen?” Kreeft’s answers are often personal-opinion-based and aren’t necessarily directly from Scripture or Church teaching—for example, he seems to take the existence of ghosts for granted, and very few of the many references to which he claims to appeal are sourced. The book is based on the popularity and content of an angels-and-demons course that Prof. Kreeft taught at Boston College. In that light, I read this as the book form of a freewheeling office hours chat with a wise and experienced (but a little old-fashioned and tangent-prone) professor, rather than as either transcendent spiritual reading or a rigorous work of theology. This approach can also help sift the wheat of the material (yes, both angels and demons are real and very powerful) from the chaff (the entire “do angels have a special connection with the sea?” section, among others).

Beautiful

It answered a lot of questions and help me see and understand a lot of things I recommended this book

Great book

Well written and insightful. A lot of interesting topics covered and truly everything you could want to know about Angels.

I'm undecided about Kreeft in general but anyone who has a guardian angel named Frodo should be cut some slack.

First, the book is really about angels. 3/4 of the book treats of angels with only a small section at the end about demons. The audience is anyone curious about angels, either through interest or doubt. His style is rather humorous, even sappy at times, but his strength lies in the sharpness of his arguments. They are clear, compelling, and cover a wide range of Christian issues. This is not out of the ordinary since he also argues that attitudes on angels tap into a host of issues from philosophy to theology.

The proof we need to believe in angels.

Not what I was expecting, the letter in the appendix was the best.
