irreverance Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I have a pretty good theological library...but I haven't added anything significant to it for about a decade. Yeah, "slacker". That' me. Bottom line: I used to be current. Now I am not. So what's good that's new? And by "new" I mean within the last 5 years or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academic and lengthy but a new classic. Michael Heiser’s The Unseen Realm. Probably the most thorough Biblical researcher in original languages writes on the Bible’s concept of non-worldly beings and environments. Secondarily, his follow-on books Angels and Demons. Shorter and fascinating with lots of conversation material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverance Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks @Burl. The Unseen Realm looks very interesting. Academic biblical studies used to be more of a focus of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heiser also shows how the Hebrew word elohim is the class of all supernatural beings. Angels, demons, ghosts etc. are all elohim. God is an elohim, but other elohim are not God. Not an expensive book either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
