Description
What role do angels play in God's plan for salvation--and in the life of the Church today? In this enduring classic, Fr. Jean Daniélou--one of the foremost theologians at the Second Vatican Council--draws on scripture and the wisdom of the Church Fathers to illuminate the mission of the angels throughout salvation history. With remarkable clarity and accessibility, yet theologically rich, Daniélou presents angels not as distant or decorative figures, but as active participants in God's saving work. First published in 1953 in French and then translated into English four years later, The Angels and Their Mission explores the many ways angels accompany God's people, including as- messengers of the Law in the Old Testament- ministers at the Nativity and the Ascension- companions in the life of the Church and the Sacraments- guides in the spiritual life of the believer- guardians at the hour of death- witnesses to the Second Coming Rooted in tradition and written with warmth and insight, The Angels and Their Mission invites readers to rediscover the mystery, beauty, and spiritual significance of the angels in the economy of salvation.
