I am not sure the angle you're looking to investigate, but from what I hear, you will find both Charles Kraft (anthropologist and missiologist) and Clinton Arnold (NT scholar) helpful and credible sources on this matter. Both have written on the issue of spiritual powers, though, I think, more on the subject of demons and spiritual warfare than on angels.

By the way, if you happen upon Kraft's Defeating Dark Angels you'll have to ignore the cover art. Scrape the layer of cheese off the top and it's supposed to be a pretty good book.

Hello There.
No one has suggested the Bible and that I would suggest is a prime resource.
From there I would suggest Billy Graham's book 'Angels'. Though I have not read this myself I know some people who have found this book helpful and insightful. Though it is a layman's guide and scripture is its only source material it would make a good introductory text and study guide. Amazon reviewer writes "The only weakness of the book is, ironically, also its greatest strength--it is written so that anyone can understand it... I would very much like to see a more detailed, scholarly treatment of the subject"
Now this is probably not what you are looking for at all, but these novels are interesting contributions to Angelology in that they give a picture of how people perceive angels, what they do, and how they go about things. 'This Present Darkness' by Frank Peretti and its sequel 'Piercing the Darkness' have no doubt had a big influenced on people's perceptions today. And one wonders just how much C.S. Lewis' 'The Screwtape Letters' have influenced these novels and the thought of the 20th century on the topic of angels and demons.
Apart from the above I cannot help you. All the best with your study.
