In the present work of Jean Danielou provides us with a learned yet readable treatment of the mission of the angels in the economy of salvation. He begins by following a historical order, dealing with the angels in the world before the Incarnation, during out Lord's earthly life, and as residing over the growth and development of the Church. We then have luminous chapters on the guardian angels, on the angels and the sacraments, the spiritual life, death, the second coming. Father Danielou's work is noticeable for the synthesis which it achieves between the teaching of the Church Fathers and later theological literature, and may be read with great profit by students and the general public.
