Modern western culture seems to find angels, demons, and even dragons irresistible. They are the topic of many books, films, and television series. A recent poll indicated that nearly eighty percent of people believe in such beings. But they are hardly a modern invention. Such creatures that go beyond time and space have been imagined for centuries. The Bible itself addresses the topic with various tales of angels and demons, and yes, even dragons.

Produktbeschreibung
Modern western culture seems to find angels, demons, and even dragons irresistible. They are the topic of many books, films, and television series. A recent poll indicated that nearly eighty percent of people believe in such beings. But they are hardly a modern invention. Such creatures that go beyond time and space have been imagined for centuries. The Bible itself addresses the topic with various tales of angels and demons, and yes, even dragons. If you are intrigued about this background, this book is for you. It reveals how thoroughly biblical these creatures are, and what they can still teach us. ¿From the words of Jesus to the teachings of the Old and New Testaments, the Bible assumes a world occupied by angels and demons. These beings impact our personal journey as well as the broader history of the world. Our popular culture regularly depicts angelic and demonic figures in books, movies, and television series. In this new addition to the popular What Does the Bible Say About? Series, John Gilman and Clifford Yeary show how a deeper understanding of what the Bible does and does not say about angels and demons can help us live a more faithful life and build a more peaceful world. In seven clearly written chapters the authors provide a compelling explanation of what the Bible does (and does not) say about the reality of angels and demons.
