The different groups of these spirits are called choirs because it is said in the [[Bible]] they are constantly praising God in song. The exacty hierarchical order of the nine choirs was a matter of dispute among [[theologian]]s; the order above follows that used by [[Aquinas]], and by [[Dante]] in his ''[[Paradiso]]''. Other speculative orderings of the ranks of the angelic choirs agree with Aquinas and Dante only on the relative positions of the Seraphim and Cherubim at the top and the Archangels and Angels at the bottom. Dominions have been placed above Thrones or above Principalities, Powers above Virtues, and Principalities above Powers, or Powers above Dominions.

The [[Bible]] reveals the existence of a multitude of spirits, and even the existence of a spiritual hierarchy. Within the ranks of hierarchy, the Bible refers to archangels, seraphim, cherubim, principalities, powers and authorities as well as angels. There are beings known as the sons of God, who, from the context, are clearly spiritual beings, whether they are or are not angels is not stated.
