The Bible is full of angels, from the cherubim in Ezekiel’s visions, to the strangers appearing to Abraham, to the messengers that bring the good news of Jesus’s birth to Mary and the shepherds in the Christmas stories.

Paula Gooder will explore what angels are and what they do in the Old and New Testaments and ask why, at a time when experience and belief in angels is widespread, we talk so little about them in the church.

Dr Paula Gooder is Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral and a distinguished Biblical Scholar, writer and speaker. The author of many books, in Heaven she explored what the Bible says about angels.
