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.

Engagement"How was it possible that I had never seen that before?"
Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural
world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is
strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in
this book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this
book.
--John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament,
Fuller Theological SeminaryThis is a "big" book in the best sense
of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis.
Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its
ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who
read this profound and accessible book will grow in their
understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as
their eyes are opened to the Bible's "unseen world."
--Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical
Studies, Westmont College
