The development of angelology with the Apocrypha is consistent with the themes of the existence of evil, dependence upon human agencies, understanding of the supernatural, as well as transcendence. Canonical status Tobit is Canon in the Roman Catholic Bible and Eastern Orthodox Bible, but non-Canonical in the Hebrew and Protestant Bibles. Anglicans consider it Apocryphal. The common use of angelic representations is in art. Substantive use of angels in art are recreations of biblical accounts.
Angels are popular in decorative use.
