Rating:  - One of the Best!
Peter Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at Boston College. During his career, he has been asked many questions regarding angels and demons. In order to respond to these enquiries, he wrote Angels (and Demons): What Do We Really Know About Them? This is an insightful question and answer book that explains just about everything there is to know about angels and devils. Kreeft answers a range of questions-from "Do angels have a sense of humor?" to "Are there really `angels in the outfield'?" and ... Read More
Rating: - Kreeft is a must read
Peter Kreeft has a gift, and that gift is making the most difficult and exalted philosophy and theology accessible to the modern reader. Much like his excellent redacted Summa with comments: A Shorter Summa: The Essential Philosophical Passages of Saint Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica Kreeft here takes a brief, and highly educational, look at what Scripture, Theology, and Philosophy tell us about Angels and Demons.
The book is written in question and answer format. Kreeft humbly and ... Read More
Rating: - One of Peter Kreeft's best reads
Reading Peter Kreeft is always a pleasure: his enthusiasm is contagious, his love for God, his good nature and humility in spite of being a philosopher are qualities that should be expected from any writer of books (whose purpose is to get in our minds his version of things).
His book on angels is short, succint, fun, clever as usual, informative, scholarly but not pedantic, and very entertaining. It's one of those books you read in 3 nights (around 150 pages).

Rating: - Clear and precise theology of angels that any one can access
Anyone who has read any of Peter Kreeft's books knows that he does not write to the arrogant academic elite but to the common adult (including "young adults"). In particular, the audience of this book is to Catholics, old or young, who wish to learn more about angels. More broadly, he writes to all Christians (and even Jews and Muslims); there are a couple of places where he explains doctrines that non-Catholics might be confused about.
The book is in question and answer style, 100 questions ... Read More
Rating: - A great Kreeft book!
This book is short (<150 pages), fun, and engaging. If the topic of angels and demons interests you, and you want to know what they REALLY are, this book will satisfy you.
Peter Kreeft is spectacular.
