Belief in Angels

Recent studies suggest that a third of people in the UK believe
in guardian angels, and nearly three quarters of Americans
believe in such celestial beings. So what is angel belief a
belief in? In this Science Set Free podcast, Rupert Sheldrake and
Mark Vernon explore the modern sense of angelic presences by
setting it alongside insights from medieval and ancient accounts
of angel domains, which were extensively developed in both
Christian and Islamic spiritual traditions. They ask about the
ways in which angels might inhabit the physical cosmos and
whether angels can be linked to modern insights about the human
mind. Angels turn out to be a fascinating subject for
conversation. They inspire all sorts of questions from the nature
of matter to the truth of intuition.
