Angels speak for God, direct the course of nations, and protect God\u2019s people. They worship God and deliver God\u2019s judgment. In\u00a0<em>Angels in the Bible,<\/em>\u00a0I examine some of the Bible\u2019s most fascinating passages about angels, exploring their ministry on God\u2019s behalf and drawing insights for our own spiritual lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because angels are mediators of God\u2019s presence and action, studying angels is studying God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am very pleased to have received this endorsement from Donald Senior, the president emeritus of Catholic Theological Union: <em>&#8220;Few biblical topics are more fascinating for Christians than the traditional belief in angels.&nbsp;&nbsp;Skilled as both a recognized biblical scholar and a thoughtful pastor, George Smiga takes the reader on a marvelous tour of the many roles angels play in the Bible, a range reflecting the dimensions of God\u2019s own abiding presence in human life.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set in the helpful format of a Little Rock Scripture Study, this is truly an attractive and fully accessible resource.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book is suitable for individual use or can be used in a group Bible Study. It can be purchased on Amazon or from Little Rock Scripture Study\/Liturgical Press at the website below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/littlerockscripture.org\/Products\/6559\/Angels-in-the-Bible\">https:\/\/littlerockscripture.org\/Products\/6559\/Angels-in-the-Bible<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an introductory video for the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Introduction to Angels in the Bible\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ogp0lS1Yusw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My new book is &#8220;Angels in the Bible.&#8221; It examines some of the Bible\u2019s most fascinating passages about these ministers of God. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5879,"featured_media":5303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/files\/2021\/02\/3ARCHANGELS-2-scaled-1.jpeg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5295"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5879"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buildingontheword.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
