Während Schutzengel in der Bibelwissenschaft gerne thematisiert werden, sind kriegerische und kämpfende Engelwesen hingegen bisher in der Angelologie kaum beachtet worden. Die Untersuchung stellt nun erstmalig Kriegsengel bei Daniel und im 2. Makkabäerbuch in den Mittelpunkt und stellt fest, dass jede Schrift ganz eigene, spezifische Vorstellungen von kriegerischen Engeln hat. Im Danielbuch findet sich das Motiv eines Engelkampfes, um die Bedeutung der göttlichen Offenbarung herauszustellen, im 2. Makkabäerbuch erscheinen Engelwesen in Rüstung auf Pferden, um die Makkabäer in der Schlacht auf Erden zu unterstützen. Diese Motive werden traditionsgeschichtlich durchleuchtet und hierzu alt-orientalisches und griechisch-hellenistisches Material herangezogen.[The Angels and the War. An Angelological Motif in the Book of Daniel and in the Second Book of Maccabees]While guardian angels are popular topics in biblical studies, warlike and fighting angels have been barely noticed in angelology so far. The present study focuses for the first time on the issue of the war angels in Daniel and 2 Maccabees, showing that each of the books has its own specific understanding of warlike angels. In the book of Daniel, the motif of a battle of the angels is intended to highlight the meaning of the Divine revelation. In 2 Maccabees, the angelic beings appear in armour on horses to support the Maccabees in their battle on earth. These motifs are analysed against the background of different traditions, assessing Ancient Near Eastern and Greek Hellenistic sources.
