Good and evil angels: a perspective from the Bible
During the second half of the 20th century a new interest in the supernatural arose. This can be seen as a reaction to prevailing rationalism and materialism. Together with this the topic of angels has received fresh attention. Attention is also given to satanism, demon possession and exorcism. This article presents a Biblical perspective on the existence and position of angels, good and evil, as a context for a broader research project on demon possession and exorcism.
