The Unseen Realm: Recovering the supernatural worldview of the Bible
By Dr. Michael S. Heiser

The Unseen Realm explores the ancient worldview of the Bible, emphasizing the significance of the divine council and spiritual beings in understanding biblical narratives. He argues that many biblical passages take on new meaning when read through the lens of this supernatural perspective, revealing a complex spiritual world that interacts with humanity. Heiser’s work challenges traditional interpretations and encourages readers to reconsider how they understand key themes in Scripture.

The Origin of Evil Spirits: The Reception of Genesis 6:1-4 in Early Jewish Literature
By Archie T. Wright

The Origin of Evil Spirits examines how early Jewish literature interpreted Genesis 6:1-4, particularly the story of the “sons of God” and the Nephilim, as a foundational narrative for understanding the origin of evil spirits. He explores how this passage was developed in texts like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and other Second Temple writings, linking the fall of the Watchers with the proliferation of evil in the world. Wright’s work highlights the influence of these interpretations on later Jewish and Christian thought regarding the nature of evil.

Theodicy of Love: Cosmic Conflict and the Problem of Evil
By John C. Peckham

Theodicy of Love presents a framework for understanding the problem of evil through the lens of cosmic conflict and divine love. He argues that God’s love is central to the existence of free will, which inherently allows for the possibility of evil, but also affirms God’s commitment to ultimate justice and restoration. Peckham’s work offers a balanced approach to theodicy, emphasizing both the seriousness of evil and the hope found in God’s loving and redemptive plan.
