Guardian Angels - Orthodox

Blair Laird

What are some good books in logos on the subject of guardian angels coming from the orthodox perspective? 

MJ. Smith

Logos has very limited Orthodox resources. I would start by orienting myself with some web articles.

• The Church's Teaching Concerning Angels (orthodoxinfo.com) the basics on angels i.e. required background
• Angels: the Eastern Orthodox Teaching on the “Body-less Powers” – Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St. Anne: Toronto (Scarborough), Ontario (stannesorthodox.ca) has a section specifically related to guardian angels
• The Church's Belief in Guardian Angels | Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese strictly on guardian angels

Within Logos, consider:

• Bulgakov, Sergius. “The Virgin and the Saints in Orthodoxy.” In Eastern Orthodox Theology: A Contemporary Reader, edited by Daniel B. Clendenin, 2nd ed. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2003 has a section on angels including guardian angels.
• Louth, Andrew. Introducing Eastern Orthodox Theology. London: SPCK, 2013. Chapter 3 has a section on demons and angels.
• Bulgakov, Sergius. Jacob’s Ladder: On Angels. Translated by Thomas Allan Smith. Grand Rapids, MI; Cambridge, U.K.: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2010. is a close to a book on guardian angels as I have in my collection.
