Protestant Theological Writings On Angels In Post-Reformation Thought From 1565 To 1939, Andrew T.H Sulavik

Andrew T. Sulavik

This is an introductory survey of Protestant theological writings on the doctrine of angels expressed in systems of theology (primarily loci communes), treatises, and sermons produced during the post-Reformation era of scholastic orthodoxy. The topic has received little scholarly attention, but is of importance for the light it sheds on a significant theological era that is not well known for its prolific literary activity on angelology. It provides a frame of reference on bibliographical sources for this subject to scholars of historical theology, historians of Reforma- tion, Renaissance and Enlightenment thought, and those with interdisciplinary interests.
