Angels are all around us. They flutter in stained glass windows, of course, and in cemeteries, but little ones shoot arrows into hearts, especially around Valentine's Day, and they show up in movies like _It's a Wonderful Life_ or _Wings of Desire_. Something like seventy percent of Americans believe in real angels, not just the one shown in art, and they believe that angels are busy doing things and helping us along. Belief in angels seems to be increasing when our age is proud of its science and rationality. Why are we infested with these celestial beings, or at least with those who are certain of their existence? There are answers in an agreeable little book _Angels: A History_ (Oxford University Press) by David Albert Jones. Jones has been a friar, and is a Professor of Bioethics in the School of Theology, Philosophy, and History at St. Mary's University College in Twickenham, England. He thus knows angels up and down. He's not going to tell you if they exist or not, advising that it is foolish to try to prove or disprove their existence; but since he advises keeping an open mind about the existence of immaterial spirits (just as others might advise us to keep open minds about fairies or alien abductions), it might be clear upon what side he leans. Nonetheless, there are reasons we think of angels the way we do, and depict them, for instance, with wings or with harps or arrows. Jones's book is a welcome examination of millennia of religiously-approved folklore, true or not.
