Since this book began its life as a doctoral dissertation, many people
should be acknowledged for its conception. Most directly, Herbert
Kessler is responsible for the good in this work: he was the exacting
midwife for a diπcult birth. The help of friends and colleagues at
the Johns Hopkins University and at the Villa Spelman was invalu-
able; I especially thank Ann van Dijk and Irene Kabala for their gen-
erous friendship.
The work I did at the doctoral level and since is founded on the
training and support I received as an undergraduate, and I never
travel far in my studies without silently expressing my gratitude to
those teachers who set me on this path. I must single out especially
A. Peter Booth (and the rest of the Department of Classics at Acadia
University) and John E. Fisher of Wabash College as having pro-
vided me with the desire and confidence to pursue this vocation.
I must mention others more briefly but with thanks equally heart-
felt: Charles Barber, Stéphane Beauroy, Anthony Bryer, Stephen
Campbell, Mark Cheetham, Anthony Cutler and the other, anony-
mous reader, Georgia Frank, David Jordan and the sta∂ of the Gen-
nadius Library, Dirk Krausmüller, Derek Krueger, Nancy Œevccenko,
Daniel Weiss and Susan Young. To Kate Toll at the University of

acknowledgments xi
California Press and Peter Brown, my debt is great. My thanks, too,
to the editor of Byzantion, P. Yannopoulos, and to the editor of
Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, J. Haldon, for allowing me to
include here revised versions of the second half of chapter 4 and
chapter 5. The University of Texas provided me with a Summer Re-
search Assignment and funds to purchase photographs, and for this
help I am grateful. Thanks to Tracy Chapman Hamilton for help
with the index; my thanks to the Tommy and Sherry Jacks Fund for
making this assistance possible.
Finally, my wife, Cathy, and children, Max and Willah, gave the
peace of mind necessary to complete this task; their love is my
strength. My parents and my grandparents gave me more than I can
express here: with full knowledge of how small it is against their
gifts, I dedicate this work to them.

introduction
On the Tension between Theology and Cult

Angel, literally “messenger,” can designate all manner of negotiation


between heaven and earth and refer to any member of God’s spiri-
tual host. Scripture is unequivocal in stating the existence of an an-
gelic host and is full of diverse examples of the appearance of these
transcendental creatures. But the diπculties of perceiving and identi-
fying angels are signaled in scripture simply by the number of guises
they assume and impressions they make. Angels appear in scriptural
accounts as multiform, awful beings before whom such witnesses as
Zacharias are overwhelmed and left speechless (Luke 1:20 – 22). They
appear as clouds and fire (Ex. 13:21 – 22, 23:20 – 23), formless voices
(Gen. 21:17) and, in the visions of Ezekiel (Ez. 10) and Isaiah (Is. 6),
as complex and ultimately unfathomable creatures. The identity of
these manifestations in scripture is often obscure; and Christian exe-
gesis with its typological interpretation only compounded the
diπculty when it discerned identities not overt in Hebrew scripture.
The scriptural definition of angelic nature as fire and wind
(Ps. 104:4) established the belief in the immaterial and enigmatic
qualities of angelic beings. Incorporated into the Epistle to He-
brews — “And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits,
and his ministers a flame of fire” (1:7)—this definition became the

introduction 1
exegetical cornerstone of Christian angelology. But although the gen-
eral definition was settled by scripture, the precise nature of the pro-
portion and blend of elemental forces was never fully explained; an-
gelic nature was held to be beyond humanity’s ken.1
Angelology — as historians have named patristic scrutiny of
angels 2 — is replete with uncertainties, and these uncertainties were
the source of the special problems of access and familiarity in devo-
tion.3 For Christians, many questions persisted about angels’ nature,
organization, duties and comprehension.4 Agreement among theolo-
gians about the specifics of angelic nature was not possible given the
transcendence of the objects of speculation, but angels figure so large
in scripture and devotion that the subject could not be avoided.
The fire and spirit composition posited a relative value for angelic
nature that placed the angels somewhere between the radically di∂er-
ent natures of humanity and God. Such theologians as Theodotus in
the second century called the angels “intellectual fire, intellectual
spirit,” 5 distinct in property from material fire and light.6 Theodotus
thought that angels did have bodies—at least they were seen as
such—although these bodies, compared to ours, were without form
and without corporeality.7 Methodius (d. ca. 311) said that the angelic

2 introduction
nature is equally composed of air and fire, like souls.8 A writer later
identified as Macarius the Great (ca. 300 –ca. 390) said that the angels
have subtle (leptav) bodies.9 Others stated that the angels are beings
without body and without matter, but not completely so.10 Gregory of
Nyssa (ca.330 –ca. 394) appears to put the angels out of all contact
with matter.11 And Gregory of Nazianzus (329 / 30 –ca. 390) said that
the angels can only be perceived by reason because they are composed
of pure spirituality or something approaching it—he could not say
for certain.12 Complete agreement concerning the degree of participa-
tion of the angels in matter was never possible. Pseudo-Dionysius the
Areopagite 13 and John of Damascus (ca. 675–ca. 750) 14 came down
on the side of the essential spirituality of the angels.
Maintaining a distance between the angels and God on the one
hand, and angels and humanity on the other, was an important con-
sideration for theologians. In his text praising the Archangel
Michael, for example, Chrysippus (ca. 405 – 479) was careful to es-
tablish the similarities and di∂erences of the natures of Michael and
God.15 He deduced the nature of God from Deuteronomy 4:24

Denys (Paris, 1954; rp. Paris, 1983) 154∂. On the nature of the angels Pseudo-Dionysius him-
self is almost completely silent. Pseudo-Dionysius took it as an assumption that the angels
were essentially spiritual in nature. In the summary of Pseudo-Dionysius’s work by George
Pachymeres (1242 –ca. 1310), angels are described as bodiless and immaterial; they are imma-
terial, immortal and deiform (De divinis nominibus, VI.2, PG 3:856C); and in De div. nom.,
IV.1, PG 3:693C he states: “It is as bodiless and immaterial that they are perceived by the in-
telligence; and inasmuch as they are intelligences, they perceive themselves in a manner not
of this world. . . .” A defining characteristic is that the celestial hierarchy is more immaterial
and more spiritual that the human (e.g., De ecclesiastica hierarchia, I.4, PG 3:376B). Roques
writes (ibid., 155 n9), “C’est surtout par opposition aux caractères de notre hiériarchie hu-
maine que ceux de la hiérarchie céleste prennent tout leur relief.”
