I eat some crow on Michael Heiser

OK, another book recommendation, except this time I've actually read the book, cover to cover. I have to eat some crow on this as well. It's a book by a guy I've criticized many times. Michael Heiser. The book is called Supernatural. I've criticized Heiser for not being clear in what he is putting forward, and I've called him a heretic in holding hederodox doctrine. He does tend to speak out of both sides of his mouth, but in this book, Supernatural, he is clear and straight forward and not a heretic after all. An Arminian, yes, but that is not heresy, just shallowness. It doesn't intrude on his main subject matter which is cosmic spiritual warfare. So... His main book is Unseen Realm. He wrote it to convince scholars, so it has a lot of scholarly defense and going deep into the languages and so on, and it can be a tedious read. I kept saying just give me the bullet points. Before I abandoned my reading. Well, Supernatural IS the bullet points. It's exactly what I needed. He wrote it for people who didn't need or want the scholarly version. So it's only about 110 pages, easy reading, fast reading, and enjoyable because of so many insights along the way. This book is BIG. Heiser has consolidated a lot of disparate narrative points of the Bible and fit them into the whole. He really has. The evidence is real: new insights pop out everywhere. It all lines up. There are so many times where you can say, ohhh, ok, that's why that strange part of the Bible is there. Etc. I mean, people like me who really know the Bible and the most biblical doctrine called Federal, Covenant Theology, a parts-in-relation-to-the-whole theology itself, can see true, new insights in Heiser's work. The reason is because systematic theology avoids the supernatural aspects of spiritual warfare in the Bible. So it was ripe to be exposed. This is a worldview book as well, by default. All my esoteric posts on the Law fill out this book as well. This book also gives the background to what's happening in the world now as well. Get the book. Read it. Supernatural by Michael Heiser.
