This 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
“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 his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book.
—John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
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 prevalent and 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.

Further Investigations into the Unseen Realm
The Bible must be interpreted in context to be accurately read and understood. “Context” does not mean any interpretive framework of our time or any time that came after the era of the biblical writers. Only when we interpret the Bible in light of the context of its original writers and readers can we tap into the originally intended messaging. These three courses situate important themes, concepts, and passages in their original context with the aim of helping students see the importance of original context and how Scripture interprets Scripture.
