Welcome to the Shaun Tabatt Show! Today my special guest is Dr. Michael S. Heiser and we’re talking about his book The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible (Lexham Press, 2015).

About The Book:
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?

• In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions?
