About This Book

The author advances a theological and philosophical case for the existence of rational non-human beings that, like humans, possess bodies and souls, are born and die, and can be subject to redemption or damnation. He distinguishes their metaphysical status and surveys doctrinal arguments for their moral accountability. The text examines phenomena traditionally attributed to intimate spiritual agents, describing their nature, origins, and behaviors as understood within Christian thought. It closes by noting that theoretical judgments about culpability are treated here, while procedural questions of proof and penalty belong to the author's wider legal-theological writings.
