The unseen realm
Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible
Book • 2015
In 'The Unseen Realm,' Michael Heiser presents a detailed analysis of the supernatural world as described in the Bible.
He argues that modern theological systems often ignore or explain away difficult passages related to the supernatural, and he seeks to restore the original ancient readers' and writers' understanding of these texts.
The book covers various themes, including the divine council, the 'sons of God,' the fall of mankind, and the ongoing cosmic conflict between God and hostile spiritual rulers.
Heiser's work aims to help readers view the biblical text unfiltered by tradition or theological presuppositions, providing a clear and accessible biblical theology that embraces the unseen realm.
