  1. I left a comment and question over on the Mere Orthodoxy post for this Mere Fidelity episode that may be of particular interest to you, Alastair. 😉

    1. My position on the identity of Michael question has wavered somewhat recently. I used clearly to identify him with the Son, but now wonder whether he might be the Son’s personal angel, the Joshua to the prophet like Moses.

      The jury is still out for me, though.

      1. Fascinating possibility! So, where would the divide be? Michael is the personal angel of the pre-incarnate Son (who’s the Angel of Yahweh or Angel of the Presence)? Or Michael (who’s the Angel of Yahweh or Angel of the Presence) is the personal angel of the pre-incarnate Son? 🤔😄
