AB Angels are endemic to the pentecostal worldview, are currently in vogue in popular spirituality, and pentecostal scholars desire for their theology to be of benefit to the pentecostal and public communities as a whole. This article contends, therefore, that scholarly pentecostal theology on the topic of angels would be of much value. It provides a scholarly contribution to the topic by first reviewing the fullest angelology proffered by a pentecostal scholar to date – that of Amos Yong. It then offers a classic-contemporary pentecostal theology and definition of angels that is more consistent with modern experiences of angels, as well as the teaching of Scripture, tradition, and reason. Finally, it commends how this angelology could be applied practically in a way that feeds the intrigue of the popular imagination, functions as a resource for apologists, and gives the interested theologian several leads for further exploration of the topic.
