Publisher's Description
New edition of a bestseller (over 175k copies sold), featuring more content from Michael S. HeiserIf 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

“The Unseen Realm is a spiritual game changer. Like Elisha’s servant, you’ll have your eyes opened to truths you’ve missed in the Bible that have been there all along. Heiser breathes new life into a biblical concept commonly misunderstood and misapplied in the evangelical world: spiritual warfare. He illumines the meaning of strange things in the Scriptures that Christians shy away from: the divine council, the sons of God, Watchers, Nephilim, giants. But he shows how these oddities are actually crucial to understanding the story line of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. I am not exaggerating when I say that this book changed my understanding of God, the Bible, and my spiritual life. This is beautiful theology.”
