O anjo como mediação

Abstract

After an exposition of the development of thought about angels, throughout history, a reflection is made on the concept of mediation, based on the mediation of Christ. Establishing the concept of angel as God's mediation and the way human beings experience reality, visible and invisible, we intend to know in practice what believers and non-believers think about angels, as well as the religious practices they use to express, perhaps, the belief in the existenceof angels. For that, a study was developed and applied to the population of the Minho region, and afterwards, the data obtained was analysed. In a disruptive way, the same study was applied to an artificial inteligence resource, the ChatGPT.
