Abstract

When I shared an earlier draft of this article with a colleague who spends much more time in the modern theological world than I do, his reply was simple: ā€œSo, angels are a thing? And people want to talk about them?ā€ Angels receive fairly short shrift in most twentieth- and twenty-first-century theology, but in late antique Christianity they certainly were ā€œa thing,ā€ if by ā€œa thingā€ we mean an essential part of religious discourse, manifest in textual and material sources that testify to the significance of angels in theological speculation, popular piety, and ascetic practice.
