Something Frank Sheed Wrote

[Byzantine]

In To Know Christ Jesus, Frank Sheed writes:

 

 

Man is not the summit of creation. He is made in God's image, but so are the angels. And they are higher in nature than man; for the spirit by which they are life God is the whole of their being, none of its energy has to go into animating a body, it does not depend on a body for knowledge of the created universe. In nature they are, indeed, not only higher than man, they tower over him.

 

This is before Sheed describes the Temptation in the Wilderness. It seems to contradict what I thought I learned, and the first two chapters of Hebrews. What's going on?

 

Thanks!
