This study looks at the way the Church utilized the belief in angels to enforce new and evolving doctrine.Angels were used by clergymen of all denominations to support their particular dogma. Sangha examines these various stances and applies the role of angel-belief further, to issues of wider cultural and political significance.
'makes a valuable contribution in reminding us of the good angels which inhabited the imaginations of early modern England ... it also establishes the case for angels as "one of the traditional constituents of faith".' Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'fills a gap in the historiography of the English Reformation, and will be of use to graduate and undergraduate students alike in History and English Literature.'
