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.

"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."
