When the thoughts of this part of this site first started forming, it was my intentions to provide the reader with a little information concerning the present day concept of what we envision as an "Angel". However, as I began to gather the information my interest in Angels grew and I found myself wanting to know more and more about the subject. I discovered that by finding the answer to one question, I had ultimately arrived at another question. And I am continuing to search for even more answers.

Probably one of the things that I have found to be the most surprising, and most frustrating, is the lack of literature available on the subject of Angels. While there are many books published on the subject, I found that most of them deal with scripts of testimonials of personal Angel experiences and only a few actually deal with the beliefs and existance of Angels. I also discovered that there are many differing views and beliefs of Angels.

I want to point out that I am not in anyway proclaiming in any form that I am an expert on the subject of Angels. Nor do I have a degree in Theology, Angelology, or any area related to these fields. My research into this subject has been purely for personal satisfaction and to quench my own curiosity.

Due to the length of the text involved in this history, I have divided it into four sections. Each section is listed below with a breif description of the contents of that section. It is my hopes that the information provided her will help possibly answer some of the questions that others have and maybe to encourage others like myself to learn more about Angels. Please take a few moments to sign the guestbook.
