| Résumé : |
Do angels really exist, or are they merely literary and figurative devices on the page? What kind of creatures are angels supposed to be? Is their existence even possible and, if so, how do we know whether they actually exist?
In The Case for Angels Peter S. Williams employs the resources of contemporary philosophy in defence of a traditional Christian angelology. In discussion with naturalistic sceptism, New Age belief and Christian doubt, Williams highlights the importance of worldview presuppositions in determining attitudes towards angels, and enlarges upon the culture’ war emerging between theism and metaphysical naturalism. Why is it important to know about angels? For the same reason it is important to know about rocks, plants and animals. It is important because these are all things that impinge on reality. This fascinating and up-to-date case for angels bridges the gap between the scholarly and the popular, and will be sure to spark discussion among academics and non-academics alike. |
