Most Christians have been taught to look away from the strange passages: the gods Israel feared, the princes of Persia and Greece, the Sons of God in Genesis 6. But Michael Heiser spent his life asking the questions others avoided, and what he found in the original text is impossible to ignore. These weren't metaphors. They were real entities, and the biblical authors knew it.
Most Christians have no problem believing in the virgin birth or the resurrection; but mention the Sons of God in Genesis 6 or the princes of nations in Daniel, and suddenly it's "too strange."
Michael Heiser argues we've built two categories of the supernatural: the ones that feel respectable, and the ones we quietly ignore. The problem is the Bible doesn't make that distinction.
