Book overview
What the Bible really says about the unseen world of the supernatural
The Bible's teaching on the world of the supernatural often occurs in difficult or troublesome passages that many Bible teachers ignore or skip over because their literal meaning doesn't fit into our neat and tidy systems. To Dr. Heiser, the more puzzling a passage is, the more important it's likely to be.
In Supernatural, Dr. Heiser shares a light on that supernatural world--not a new light, but rather the same light the original, ancient readers and writers of Scripture would have seen it in. He tackles these questions and many more:
● Who were the "sons of God"?
● Who were the Nephilim?
● Where do angels fit into the supernatural hierarchy?
● Why did God find it necessary to have the Israelites destroy the populations of entire cities-man, woman, and child?
● What relation does Jesus bear to the rest of the supernatural world?
Supernatural presents this approach to reading and understanding scripture for the person in the pew. Dr. Heiser's bestselling work The Unseen Realm covers the same material but at a deeper, complex, and highly documented way, for pastors, the seminarian, or serious students of the Bible.
