A New Testament scholar compares ancient and modern stories about
angels, and examines their relationship to Christology In this
provocative, intelligent, and highly original addition to the
Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library, Susan R. Garrett argues that
angel talk has never been merely about angels. Rather, from ancient
times until the present, talk about angels has served as a vehicle
for reflection on other fundamental life questions, including the
nature of God's presence and intervention in the world, the
existence and meaning of evil, and the fate of humans after death.
In No Ordinary Angel, Garrett examines how biblical and other
ancient authors addressed such questions through their portrayals
of angels. She compares the ancient angel talk to popular
depictions of angels today and considers how the ancient and modern
portraits of angels relate to Christian claims about Jesus. No
Ordinary Angel offers important insights into the development of
angelology, the origins of Christology, and popular Western
spirituality ranging from fundamentalist to New Age. In doing so,
it provokes stimulating theological reflection on key existential
questions.
