An angel (from the Greek ἄγγελος - ángelos [ 1 ] ) is a supernatural being or spirit , usually humanoid in form, found in various religions and mythologies . The theological study of angels is known as "angelology". In Zoroastrianism and Abrahamic religions they are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth , or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence. [ 2 ] The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spirits found in many other religious traditions. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks. [ 3 ]

An archangel ( pron.: / ˌ ɑr k ˈ eɪ n dʒ əl / ) is an angel of high rank . Beings similar to archangels are found in a number of religious traditions; but the word "archangel" itself is usually associated with the Abrahamic religions of Judaism , Christianity , and Islam . Michael and Gabriel are recognized as archangels in Judaism , Islam , and by most Christians . The Book of Tobit —recognized in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles , but considered apocryphal by Protestants—mentions Raphael , who is also considered to be an archangel. The archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on September 29 (between 1921 and 1969 March 24 for Gabriel and 24 October for Raphael) and in Orthodox on November 21. The named archangels in Islam are Gabriel , Michael , Israfil and Azrael .

[ edit ] Luther's New Testament translation While he was sequestered in the Wartburg Castle (1521–1522) Luther began to translate the New Testament from ancient Greek into German in order to make it more accessible to all the people of the " Holy Roman Empire of the German nation."

Young's Literal Translation (YLT Bible) - Version Information - BibleGateway.com
Version » Young's Literal Translation Go to: Version Information | Copyright Information | Bible-Book List Version Information The Bible text designated YLT is from the 1898 Young's Literal Translation by Robert Young who also compiled Young's Analytical Concordance. This is an extremely literal translation that attempts to preserve the tense and word usage as found in the original Greek and Hebrew writings.
Biblical literalism (also called Biblicism or Biblical fundamentalism ) is the interpretation or translation of the explicit and primary sense of words in the Bible . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A literal Biblical interpretation is associated with the fundamentalist and evangelical hermeneutical approach to scripture—the historical-grammatical method —and is used extensively by conservative Christians , [ 3 ] in contrast to the historical-critical method of liberal Christians . The essence of this approach focuses upon the author's intent as the primary meaning of the text. [ 4 ] Literal interpretation does place emphasis upon the referential aspect of the words or terms in the text. It does not, however, mean a complete denial of literary aspects, genre, or figures of speech within the text (e.g., parable, allegory, simile, or metaphor). [ 5 ] Also literalism does not necessarily lead to total and complete agreement upon one single interpretation for any given passage.
