Reformation Heritage Books

There is widespread interest in angels today. Yet interest in a biblical topic is of no value if we are not biblical about the topic. In this straightforward book, Roger Ellsworth sets the record straight, explaining the biblical view of angels in a clear and helpful way, dealing with such topics as what are the seraphim and cherubim, angels as ministering spirits, and the role of angels at the beginning and end of time. Above all, however, is his concern to drive us to the One the angels themselves adore—the Lord Jesus Christ.
