Revealing the Unseen Realm
Michael Heiser’s The Unseen Realm (2015) has generated significant interest in evangelical and broadly biblical-theological circles for its claim to recover a neglected “divine council” worldview as the organizing framework for reading Scripture. This review essay by Rick Wadholm Jr argues that Heiser’s project, while erudite and stimulating in its Ancient Near Eastern scholarship, erects a maximalist theological superstructure on a textual and hermeneutical foundation that will not bear the weight placed upon it.
