Description

Dr. Michael S. Heiser, Scholar-in-Residence at Faithlife Corporation, shares fifteen years of extensive research exploring what the Bible genuinely reveals about the supernatural realm. Heiser approaches scripture without the filters of traditional views or theological biases, ensuring an authentic exploration of difficult biblical passages. He believes people should not be shielded from scripture; however, many theological frameworks unintentionally do so by dismissing or rationalizing its more complex or troubling texts when a literal reading doesn’t align with existing doctrines.

Who exactly were the “sons of God”? Who were the Nephilim mentioned in the Bible? Where do angelic beings fit within the supernatural order? Why did God command the Israelites to completely destroy certain populations, including women and children? And what’s the connection of Jesus to other supernatural beings described in scripture? Dr. Heiser thoroughly addresses these intriguing questions and numerous others within his carefully researched books Supernatural and The Unseen Realm.

Both books illuminate the supernatural dimension of the Bible in a way reflective of the original context and understanding—the same view in which ancient biblical writers and readers would have comprehended scripture. After experiencing these insights, readers will approach the Bible with a renewed and fundamentally changed perspective.

Supernatural: What the Bible Teaches About the Unseen World—and Why it Matters is tailored specifically for regular readers and believers, presenting these biblical concepts in a clear and approachable manner. In comparison, The Unseen Realm contains the same foundational content but presents it in a more comprehensive, extensively referenced, and scholarly way, suited particularly to pastors, seminarians, and dedicated Bible students.
