To say that there is much interest in the subject of angels would be an understatement. Angel mania might be more accurate. Bookstores have whole sections dedicated to angel publications. Tom Hanks recent film, "Angels & Demons" earned $104 million world-wide in the first week after its release. Polls show that 60% of Americans believe in angels.

Are there really such beings as angels in the world today? What do they look like? Can we see them? What did Jesus say about angels? Is this a topic that faithful Christians who are concerned about evangelism and caring for the poor should take seriously? How much of what we read about angels in a multitude of best-selling books resonates with the over three hundred references to angels in the scriptures?

Will we be able to answer all of these questions? Likely not, but we can tell why knowing about and paying attention to angels is crucial to the wellbeing of the church.
