RLS 251 Angels and Demons
3 credits
Students will explore the subject of angels, which are spiritual beings other than human beings and God; emphasis will be given to Christian angelology, which is much more fully developed, but doctrinal comparisons will be made to other faiths, especially Judaism and Islam. After setting forth the reasons why belief in the existence of angels is credible, these spiritual beings will be examined in terms of their nature, knowledge, freedom, mission, and range of action. The methods used to address these issues include philosophy, theology, biblical principles, authoritative texts from other religious traditions, reflections of specific Church Fathers and medieval theologians, private revelations, and the reports of exorcists.
