I confess I don’t even know how to start a blog post. Blogs are typically opinion pieces and angelology; my research field isn’t about giving one’s own opinions.
Approaching angelology from the direction of history requires factuality – as much as one can talk about factuality in the case of angels. The first rule of angelology thus remains that you don’t chit-chat about angels or else you get confused with a preacher, which might compromise the credibility of your research. Having said that, the Rome Art Program’s idea of including angels in their blog sounded charming, so I decided to give it a clumsy go.
