Angels Elect and Evil

Dr. C. Fred Dickason was a former faculty member of the Moody Bible Institute and past chairman of their department of theology. This volume on elect and evil angels is still considered a classic in the field, and required reading in many doctrine and theology classes in the United States. One would expect a professor of theology to write in a dry and technical manner. Dickason does not. His writing style is clear and direct enough for the layman to understand and yet "meaty" to satisfy the seasoned pastor and academician. This work is divided into two main sections: "The Angels of God" and "Satan and his Demons". A major strength of this volume is its organization. The dominant case of headings and subheadings to introduce a thought makes this easy to read as well as conducive to just looking up sections of interest. Dr. Dickason's treatise in the area of angelology brings several benefits to the reader. First, an understanding of the spirit world will help to understand God, the Father and his relationship to the realm of creation and his created creatures. Second, This topic will bring comfort to believers in understanding God's use of angels to minister to us. Third, we can learn about the holiness of God and his judgment on men and angels as they sin and rebell. Dickason discusses the nature, position, classification and abode of angels. He competently details their ministry and their destiny. His closes the first section examining our relationship to angels In part two he writes informatively on the original state and fall of Lucifer. He also deals Biblically with Satan's character and position and details his power and activities. This volume will bring blessing and comfort to the reader as well as Biblical insight into this area of theology.

Fred's theological exposition of angelic activity, both holy and evil, is easily understandable in this excellent book. Should be on every Christian's bookshelf, along with his other book "Demon possession and the Christian". Praise the Lord Jesus for Fred, and Praise the Lord for Himself and His Power and Victory!
