Angelology: the Study of Angels

Angelology: the Study of Angels
by Dr. Robert D. Luginbill

God’s creation of angelic beings, the rebellion of some, His plan and ultimate victory.
In speaking of angels, He says, “He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire.” Heb. 1:7 NIV

Dr. Luginbill’s work, Angelogy, the Study of Angels, is a single chapter work on Angels. Although brief, it is quite well documented on the specifics of the doctrine of angels. Angelology, Study of Angels by Bill Luginbill is a very long single chapter outline on angelology. It has two divisions, The Purpose, Creation and Nature of Angels, and Satan’s Rebellion and World Rule.

Introduction: The subject of angels has long fascinated mankind, not just believers but unbelievers, and not just dedicated believers bent on spiritual growth, but also those with “itchy ears” for this subject (but not necessarily for other teachings of the Bible). The purpose of this study is to give an essential overview of what God would have us to know about angels based upon what is actually contained in His Word.
