Contemporary society is fascinated by angels . . .

. . . but perceptions often fall short of reality—perceptions twisted to fit the agenda of New Age and other philosophies. Angels: Elect and Evil clearly presents answers based in Scripture.

Recently updated and expanded, this book presents a clear description of the angels and demons who exist under the power and authority of the almighty God. Angelology expert Dr. C. Fred Dickason carefully guides you through an examination of the spirit world—providing answers to some fascinating questions:

  • What are angels like?
  • What kinds are there?
  • How do angels serve God and us?
  • Are there evil angels?
  • What power or dominion do demons have in our world?


This study will sharpen your understanding of the spirit battle we face every day. And it will reassure you that God prevails!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm an electrical engineer turned Bible teacher and theologian. I hope that's not shocking. I served 34 years at Moody Bible Institute, most of that time as chair of theology. I was pushed into the study of the spirit world not only by my own interest but by the many calls from people with questions. They asked about Bible teaching on Angels, Satan, and demons. Some needed counseling because of spirit manifestations and oppression. Out of my years of teaching I wrote a textbook used in colleges and seminaries, "Angels, Elect and Evil." The book "Demon Possession and the Christian," born out of biblical study and my experience as a counselor,

caused many to reevaluate their understanding of how demons can affect believers.

My latest book, "Winning the War through Prayer" gets very pointed with biblical basis for aggressive prayer and specific prayer patterns for countering forces of evil and allowing the Holy Spirit to protect and cultivate our lives.

I have counseled over 650 persons with demonic problems for over 46 years. I have seen the Lord Jesus free Christians from oppression and lead them into a life of fellowship and victory. The principles of acceptance with God, access to God, and authority in Christ can be applied to gain freedom and joy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good and helpful, but far from perfect.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This book is basically helpful, and it goes a long way to correcting the pop-cultural notion that angels are basically a heavenly chorus made up of androgynous singers as well as the notion that Demon/Satan are omnipresent and omnipotent. The book is basically a survey of every passage that touches on the subject of angels or demons, and that is very helpful when it comes to developing a biblical theology of angels. By nature this approach tends toward breadth over depth and that is the case here.

    There is one glaring and serious problem with this work, the author's treatment of the question of whether redeemed believers can be demon possessed. (Full disclosure I think his conclusions are catastrophically wrong.) Rather than searching for answers in scripture and approaching the question biblically, he resorts to anecdote, story and personal experience. It is a glaring methodological error, that has no place what so ever in a theology book, and leads to deeply flawed conclusions.

    On balance this is a very helpful resource, but it is not perfect, and as with all theological works, it must be read with discernment and an open bible.

    This was my first reading on angels. I found it enlightening and easy to read. The scripture referencing gave meaning to the authors views and mine. I am no biblical scholar but the Holy Spirit has guided me to understanding beyond the reading of mere words. Though simplistically, I have found unison with the author. "Angels Elect and Evil" will be my primer for further books about angels. Thank you Dr Dickason.

    This is an excellent resource on Angels—Elect, Fallen, Satan and Demons from their creation to their final eternal state.

    Dickason provides a comprehensive and biblical explanation of angels. Since the majority of Christians have a “Hollywood understanding” of angels, I can not recommend this book enough.

    This is my second copy of this book. I have several books on the subject of angels in my personal library but this if by far the best. It is written in such a way that it covers the subject extensively for those of us in ministry, yet it is done in a way that makes it an enjoyable read for anyone interested in what the Bible says about angels and demons.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, but needs revision
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014

    C. Fred Dickason Jr. spent more than three decades as a faculty member of the Moody Bible Institute. His book Angels: Elect and Evil was published the same year as his retirement in 1995. Dickason has written on the subject of Angels for nearly 50 years, but taught broadly as the eventual chair of theology.
    In the introduction to Angels, Dickason lays out his purpose in writing by summarizing some cultural phenomena that have approached mainstream status. Among those mentioned, are the New Age movement, Anton LaVey, popular news outlets and even Church Universal and Triumphant leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet. All are to illustrate the widespread fruits of aberrant understanding, regarding angels and demons and to develop the need for the book, which is partly represented when he states of Christians,
    We must know the truth about the occult and the spirit world to combat erroneous and increasingly popular views. We must recognize the titanic struggle carried on every day between forces of darkness and forces of light...Christians must have an answer not only for themselves but also for a needy and confused world. We find that answer in biblical truth and its authoritative and balanced presentation of the spirit world. This study is designed in view of these needs, to survey the scriptural teachings about angels, Satan, and demons. Its outline form and discussion are aimed to help the serious Bible student trace this area of doctrine.

    What follows is exactly what Dickason has introduced, an outline style of writing, replete with scripture references, helpful divisions of thought and overlapping summaries of content.
    The work has one main division, which is heralded by its title, Angels: Elect and Evil. Within those two categories are many subdivisions. Regarding his treatment of the Elect, Dickason covers the existence, origin, nature, position, rank and ministry of angels. He then turns to their evil counterparts, and discusses both Satan and demons, with further sections covering Satan's existence, names and activity, and demonic descriptions, duties and occult activities. The book aptly concludes with a chapter titled, Defense of Believers Against Satan and Demons.
    Overall, this reviewer found the book to be helpful in developing a theology of angels and demons. Dickason presents some dissenting viewpoints where Scripture has left room for questions, and asks questions that are likely a part of the reader's stream of consciousness as the material is presented. For example, within Chapter 13, Dickason wrestles, albeit briefly, with theodicy. Under Roman numeral V. readers will find the subtitle, "The Moral Problem In the Fall of Angels." Here Dickason asks what other authors might gloss over,

    "It is inevitable that men would ask why a good and powerful God should allow the fall of Satan and his angels to occur. It introduced sin into the universe, affecting angels, all mankind, and even God to some extent. This is really part of the whole problem of the existence of evil."

    What follows are touch points of God's character, sovereignty, choice, and condemnation. While not robust in explanation, it is helpful that Dickason does not abandon the near inevitability of the reader's questions and need for direction.
    In addition to a willingness to deal with difficult questions, Dickason's book follows an outline format that follows an overlapping and redundant style of writing. Readers that are irritated by the presentation of the same points in different ways, or for reinforcement will be frustrated by this book. On the other hand, if used as a research starting point, the overlapping material is highly appropriate and helpful. For example, in his sections that detail the capability of both angels and demons, one will find a reference to Jude 9 on 9 occasions and to the book of Jude in total on 27 occasions. Why so many? Because the passage is unique in dealing with the capability of both Satan and the archangel Michael as it relates to angelic activity and power among both the elect and evil.
    In addition, for those who have read some of the popular books, which emerged in the late 80's and 90's on this subject, rather than a system of techniques and formulas for the conduct of spiritual warfare, readers will find a rare focus primarily upon a life of continued sanctification and growth in Christlikeness. The theme is woven throughout the book and hit hard in the early, middle and late portions of the book.
    The weakest point in the book came in the discussion of counseling, specifically as it related to demon possession. Dickason takes a position, which allows for the possession of Christians by demons. He builds his position upon the realm of experience, stating that he has, "counseled more than five hundred demonized persons." This section is supported almost solely by the testimony of him and others, leaving the reader in a desert, where there was once an oasis of biblical reference to the points being made.
    A second weak point was found in the citation of phenomena that are no longer contemporary. As stated in the introduction, Dickason cites individuals and phenomena from the 1980's and 1990's, which relegate this book to being in need of revision. Few, Bible students (who are Dickason's stated target audience) who are living more than a decade into the 21st century will be able to recall many of the examples stated at the outset. If Angels is to resonate with contemporary audience the existing examples of division and agnosticism need to be emphasized in a re-written introduction.
    Overall, Dickason's book, while choppy in style, due to the outline format, is a worthy addition to one's research library when considering the subject of Angels and Demons. This reviewer will gladly purchase a revision of the book, should it appear.
