Publisher's Summary

In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's word.

  • Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her?
  • How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood?
  • Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his angel together in his prayer?
  • Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over?
  • In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions?
  • Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits?
  • Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership?
  • Who are the glorious ones that even angels dare not rebuke?

After listening to this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again.

There is a world referred to in the scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so listen to it and discover a new realm for reflection about what scripture teaches.

Exceptional Book

What an amazing book!
Dr Heisers depth of scholarly insights and knowledge into areas of the bible that are just simply not taught and ignored within mainstream Christianity is incredible. The book opens up the Bible in expounding indepth how God is orchastrating human history from begining to end in bringing about His purposes and will for His glory in both the seen and unseen relm and how He deals with human and spiritual free will and opposition. It has revolutionised my way of understanding and reading the Bible.

A must read for anyone who dares to ask of the bible, why?

Heiser does a great job forcing us to read the bible text from ancient Jewish lens, its original context. Not from our computer screen lens which has sadly discarded so much of the richness of the bible. All the while preserving the supremacy and divinity of Christ!

Now I understand why there are so many deities and recognisable oral traditions in India and countries in south east Asia, a region I’m very familiar with.

So much to think about!

This book has challenged my way of thinking about and interpreting scripture as an ordinary person. It certainly has opened my understanding of the historical world view. It reminds me that no matter how much I think I know and understand, there is still so very much more that God wants us to know.

Eye Opening

Fantastic, it has striped away many stereotypical aspects of Christianity that are untrue from my childhood. The linguistics side is fascinating and opened my mind to the different mindsets of the ancient Hebrews, showing us how the wrote scripture which is uncomfortable for us today because of the false stereotypes. Highly recommended for everyone especially Christans, as I believe it will reinvigorate your theological passion , desire and understanding of who God is.
