Description: 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 reading 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 read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches.

Review: Firstly, if your main interest is to better understand the unseen realm from a biblical perspective, as was mine, I wouldn't suggest that this book is for you. It's not primarily about the unseen realm but about pushing Michael's theology of their being a divine council of spiritual beings who co-rule the earth with God. This of course means that the unseen realm is the main backdrop to the book, but it's not the main focus. Secondly, and regarding the divine council perspective being pushed, I'm not sure I see what the fuss is about. It's not compelling that it relies for support more on extra biblical material than on biblical material but, even if correct, I don't see how it greatly changes the way we already view God's dealings with the earth, i.e. mediated through obedient spiritual beings and opposed by disobedient spiritual beings. Certainly doesn't seem to warrant such a long book to re-establish this. All that said, though, the book does contain lots of nuggets of interest along the way, as well as a refreshing reiteration of the oft overlooked and ongoing plan of God to 'Edenize' the earth through man. In that context, it's a shame Michael ascribes a future eschatological role for literal Jerusalem but stops short of doing the same for the literal nation of Israel, but he's not done in doing that. Overall, an intensely well researched book with many points of interest along the way, but one which ultimately ends up being less than the sum of its parts.
