According to C.S. Lewis, most of us either don't take demons seriously enough or are overly fascinated by their lure. Gilhooly highlights how we do battle not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers. Though the spiritual realm is undoubtedly real, it's a mistake to be overly dogmatic about the specifics.
Christians in Bible-believing churches often do not receive explicit teaching on angels because expositional sermons focus on the meaning of the text—and the biblical authors are rarely focused on discussing angels. The consequence is that legends or superstitions often cloud our reflections about supernatural beings. Pastors also rarely receive in-depth exposure to this subject in seminary. This book satisfies a need for teaching about the angels for a popular audience who want to speak and think biblically about the spiritual realm, especially because many books on angels teach speculative views or borrow their ideas from other religions of the ancient near east.
