In this rare and carefully reasoned work, Increase Mather—Puritan pastor and president of Harvard—guides readers through the scriptural teaching on angels with clarity and reverence.

Originally published in 1696, The Ministry of Angels addresses timeless questions: Do we each have a guardian angel? What role do angels play in the life of the believer? How are they ordered? What happened at the fall? This new edition, retypeset and Smyth-sewn for lasting use, brings a long-lost voice back to a subject that is often misunderstood.
