Many Christians live as though they are effectively alone. However, there is another realm of intelligent life that plays a role in the world--angelic beings. This book explores the doctrine of angels and demons, answering key questions about their nature and the implications for Christians' beliefs and behavior, helping readers see their place in the larger biblical plotline that includes supernatural beings. An understanding of the reality of angels and demons encourages believers to be vigilant in the light of spiritual warfare and to be confident in Christ's victory on the cross.

  • Explores angels, Satan, and demons from biblical, systematic, and historical perspectives
  • Answers pressing questions about what to believe about angels and demons, and how to live in light of what the Bible says about spiritual warfare
  • Points to the necessity of Christ's victory on the cross as overcoming the demons in rebellion against their Creator
  • Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series
