Angels

In his latest book, Angels, Dr. Heiser reveals what the Bible really says about God’s supernatural servants. Angels is not guided by traditions, stories, speculations, or myths about angels. Heiser’s study is grounded in the terms the Bible itself uses to describe members of God’s heavenly host; he examines the terms in their biblical context while drawing on insights from the wider context of the ancient Near Eastern world.

“We live in a materialistic world. If you can’t touch it or see it, it doesn’t exist. The Bible opens our eyes to the supernatural realm of spiritual beings, and Michael Heiser helps us navigate the biblical teaching on angels. He does so with great insight and care as he explores the Old and New Testament teaching on this important topic. I recommend this book to all who want to broaden their understanding of the world to include the world as it really is.”
