The Unseen Realm (Expanded Edition): Discovering the Supernatural World of the Bible
|
Biographical Note: "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, emeritus professor of biblical studies, Westmont College "How was it possible that I had never seen that before? Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped." --John Goldingay, senior professor of Old Testament and David Allan Hubbard Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary Publisher Marketing: New edition of a bestseller (over 175k copies sold), featuring more content from Michael S. Heiser If it's weird, it's important. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, The Unseen Realm Expanded Edition features a deluxe hardcover format and new content from Heiser never before available in print, further unveiling the unseen realm. Talking snakes. Giants. A heavenly council. Imprisoned spirits. Your Bible is filled with strange things, but what do they mean and why do they matter? In The Unseen Realm, Michael Heiser unveils the supernatural worldview of the Bible. Heiser shows how understanding the Bible's ancient context reveals surprises hiding in plain sight. By reading the Bible with the mindset of an ancient Israelite, you will learn new things about God, yourself, and the world. You may never read your Bible the same way again. - Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? - How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? - Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? - Why do Peter and Jude write about imprisoned spirits? - Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rule? - Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? "How was it possible that I had never seen that before? Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world." ―Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
