An excellent Catholic resource on Angels and Demons.

Put in a Q-&-A format, written by a well-respected Catholic professor of Philosophy at Boston College. Informative without being speculative, it is based on the course he taught called, "Angels, Devils, Ghosts and Miracles." Dr. Kreeft covers such topics as angelic cognitive abilities, their sexuality (or lack thereof), and job descriptions. Written from a Catholic perspective, the book is quite readable, avoiding overly technical theological jargon.

Breathtaking Revelation

Peter Kreeft takes the insecure believer in angels and demons, and armed with sublime explanations, brings about the destruction of any doubt!

Ok, bit too rambly. Expected a bit denser work.

A very fun read! I learned a lot, but it left me wanting more.

He reminds us that our guardian angels go everywhere we go, so before you go someplace ask yourself whether it’s a fitting place for an angel. I’m planning to make this my mantra for teenage children.

Short, but thought-provoking.

I very much enjoyed this read. It was informative and made some complex arguments easy to understand. The Q&A format provided a good way to digest discrete topics one at a time. I did expect it to be more academic and dig a little deeper, but a good "starter" for anyone interested in the subject.

Interesting answers to very often asked questions.

Angels (and Demons) is an engaging exploration of the spiritual world, a realm often overlooked or misunderstood in contemporary society. Through a question-and-answer format, Kreeft delves into the nature of angels and demons, their roles in human history, and their ongoing influence on our lives.

Kreeft's characteristically clear and engaging writing style makes complex theological concepts accessible to a wide audience. He firmly establishes the reality of both angels and demons, challenging the skepticism that often surrounds these topics. The author draws upon Scripture, Church tradition, and philosophical reasoning to build a compelling case for the existence and activity of these spiritual beings.

Central to the book is the exploration of the nature of angels. Kreeft delves into their creation, hierarchy, and roles, emphasizing their purity, intelligence, and power. He also explores the concept of guardian angels and their role in human lives. In contrast, the book examines the nature of demons, their origin, and their influence on the world. Kreeft presents a sobering picture of their malice and cunning, while also offering insights into their limitations.

A significant theme throughout the book is the concept of spiritual warfare. Kreeft emphasizes the ongoing battle between good and evil, equipping readers with a theological and practical understanding of this conflict. He stresses the importance of prayer, sacraments, and virtue as essential tools in this spiritual battle.

Angels (and Demons) offers a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual dimension of life. By dispelling myths and providing a solid theological foundation, Kreeft invites readers to recognize the reality of spiritual forces at work in the world and to embrace their role in this cosmic conflict.

This book is a good introduction for beginners interested in the supernatural. It is written in a similar fashion as the Summa with 100 questions about angels and demons (about 3/4 angels and 1/4 demons) discussing what they are, what they do, why they are here and why we need them, and so on. It starts off a little slow if you are expect something more in depth but it is a great beginner for anyone who is not religious and wants a solid logical argument for there being angels (and fallen angels now demons). Prefer already writes in a clear and concise way often simplifying and touching on on St. Thomas Aquinas’ more in depth research and explanation of angels. I recommend this book for non religious and anyone looking for an introduction into the metaphysical world.

This is an easy read in a question answer format. Kreeft is no-nonsense and occasionally snarky as he lays out what we know about angels, good and bad. This was a quick reminder to focus on what's eternal. I particularly enjoyed one of the appendixes where he copies C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters format to deal with more current topics like the sexual revolution and the media.

This helped me to understand angels and demons. It very interesting to read, easy to understand. I am very happy I bought it and read it. I knew such things I never knew. I think it changed something in my soul too.
