Close Encounters: Angels and Demons in the Bible

Angels and demons. Are we to believe in them literally or metaphorically? Or hold on to skepticism? In this study, we explore various Hebrew and Christian Bible narratives featuring angels and the exorcism of demons. We also consider similar encounters from our own time. What meaning might we attribute to these encounters? And how can we still believe in the authenticity of these experiences in an age of modern psychology, cosmology, and physics? This study intends to enliven our faith and bring us to an openness for new vistas in our lives.
