Angels and Demons - What the Bible Says About Angels and Demons

Are angels real? Do demons exist? Do Christians have guardian angels? And what role do these spiritual beings play in God’s plan?

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver interviews Dr. John Gilhooly, author of 40 Questions About Angels, Demons, and Spiritual Warfare. Together, they explore what Scripture really teaches about angels and demons—and why it matters!

Join us as we discuss:
-What the Bible actually says about angels and demons
-Common misconceptions about guardian angels
-Why speculation about the unseen realm can be dangerous
-How angels serve God and His people today
-The biblical warnings against superstition and spiritual sensationalism

Dr. Gilhooly, Professor of Philosophy and Theology at Cedarville University, provides thoughtful, biblically grounded answers to questions about spiritual beings, their creation, their roles, and their relevance for Christians today.
