About this listen

The truth about demons is far stranger - and even more fascinating - than what's commonly believed.

Are demons real? Are they red creatures with goatees holding pitchforks and sitting on people's shoulders while whispering bad things? Did a third of the angels really rebel with Satan? Are demons and "principalities and powers" just terms for the same entities, or are they different members of the kingdom of darkness? Is the world a chaotic mess because of what happened in Eden, or is there more to the story of evil?

What people believed about evil spiritual forces in ancient biblical times is often very different than what people have been led to believe about them today. And this ancient worldview is missing from most attempts to treat the topic.

In Demons, Michael Heiser debunks popular presuppositions about the very real powers of darkness. Rather than traditions, stories, speculations, or myths, Demons is grounded in what ancient people of both the Old and New Testament eras believed about evil spiritual forces and in what the Bible actually says. You'll come away with a sound, biblical understanding of demons, supernatural rebellion, evil spirits, and spiritual warfare.

Awesome!

This book is the WHOLE DEAL - everything you've ever wanted to know about evil spirits according to the Bible (and other ancient texts). It's deep stuff, and complex - not for beginners! I had to read it twice to understand everything. But once I did, I feel that I now really DO understand everything about the subject!

Great book to listen to!

Great book to listen to if you are interested in the origin of demons and are interested in the biblical worldview from a great biblical scholar who understands the bible and the ancient middle east. Highly recommended .

Interesting dive into the opposing camp

I started this because I was exploring the idea of the divine council. He discusses the Divine Counsil early in the book as a refresher from a prior work of his. I was particularly intrigued by his arguments against Gap theory as well as his discussion about SLSW.

Well worth listening to.

Makes things more clear

I learned a lot from this book, but most importantly to me is understanding what Jews would have thought about what demons were during Jesus’s life on earth.

Don't let the title deceive you

The author is scriptually sound in the book. This is NOT the glorification of evil powers in the spiritual realm. It IS a clarification of the biblical text from source material. This is done by the analysis of thoughts, myths, texts, beliefs and information known to the biblical authors when the Bible was assembled as the inspired Word of the unique most high God, the Father of Jesus Christ. Which includes various Mesopotamian texts & apocryphal texts. The author soundly provides multiple proofs against antichrist thinkers, traditional beliefs & wrong theology.

Perfectly done

This book like all his others cleared up so many miss conceptions we believed to be true. Gordon's reading of it was wonderful. Going to start over again tomorrow. Have read Unseen realm 5 times and his others numerous times. It clarifies the bible so much and the war in heaven and earth. These books are must reads!!!! This war is unfolding around us!
