STG 147 - Angels and Angelology

Published: March 5, 2019, 5:01 a.m.

b'It\'s time for our Patreon-selected topic for the quarter, and this one\'s so big it\'ll take up two episodes! Our topic this week is angels, and with so much material to work with we just had to break this topic up. This episode has relatively little pure gaming content, because we had to push all of that off until next week! First, though, we talk about recording another session with City on a Hill Gaming, and Peter\'s side quest episode, as well as a brief note about Grant\'s upcoming Vampire game.\\n \\nOur Patreon question this week comes from Kenning, who asks, "What is your favorite movie to talk about? Not necessarily a good movie, but an interesting one to talk about?"\\n \\nAfter quite a lot of Scripture to read\\u2014turns out there\'s plenty of verses about angels!\\u2014we tackle our main topic: Angels and angelology! What even are angels? What\'s their purpose? What do we know about them, and from what sources? How do they appear in popular culture? And why do we care about the opinions of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite on the matter?\\n \\nMentioned in this episode: Gustav Davidson\\u2019s A Dictionary of Angels: Including the Fallen Angels, Gill\'s Exposition of the Bible, STG 110, "Spiritual Warfare (with Rev.
