Reversing Hermon

Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ

De: Michael S. Heiser

Narrado por: Michael Duty

Duración: 8 h y 44 m

Resumen del Editor

This is an academic work describing how the New Testament writers re-purpose Genesis 6:1-5 in their presentation of Jesus as messiah. Though every topic addressed in Reversing Hermon can be found in scholarly academic literature, Reversing Hermon is the first book to gather this information and make it accessible to Bible students everywhere. The book also includes lengthy appendices on the ancient debate on the inspiration of the book of 1 Enoch, New Testament allusions to the book, and academic resources for studying 1 Enoch and the Book of Giants from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

would be better with Author Narration

I really enjoyed this book, it will change how you view your faith and your mission while on this journey.

another great book from Heiser

if you have read Heiser's other book, Unseen Realm, you'll definitely want to read this one.

Great collection of thoughts on the subject.

I have the other works of Dr. Michael Heiser. This one in particular focuses on the sin of the watchers. I like how the original research he did for The Unseen Realm is so broad that many other books can come out of it with more research on the focused subjects. The only reason I took one star off of the performance is that the narrators voice will change between certain areas of the book. I can only guess it had to be rerecorded or done after the previous recording and added in later. It's not anything obtrusive but when listening it is noticable. I highly recommend reading or listening to The Unseen Realm as a basis to get a good understanding of Dr. Heiser's thought process.

Intriguing

There were glitches, especially chapter 9. But content was thought provoking.There are a lot of details so be prepared to engage thoughtfully.

I like this narrator!

His inflection and emphasis keeps me attentive to the reading. And of course the content is superb, bringing me back for another session time after time. Dr. Heiser is missed.

The Narrator made it difficult to finish

I love Dr. Heiser's work and was eager to get this, but the narrator made it difficult for me to finish listening. I tried to power through, but he was too distracting. Ill have to get the physical book.

Who are the Nephalim?

Very scholarly work. Performer reads the footnote references. That was little distracting to me, since I was listening to it to get an overview of his thoughts. I definitely will buy the print copy so that I can study it and be able to consult the footnotes.

Put Away Your Preconceptions

As a pastor, I ran as fast as I could from Genesis 6:1-4. It had to mean anything but what it said. If you are an expository preacher and take pride that you don't duck from any passage that pops up on the calendar of preaching (even womens' head coverings from I Corinthians), you better have a real good explanation for these four Genesis verses. Uhhh, by the way, that the "sons of God" were Seth's descendants are destroyed by Heiser's academic explanation.

Dig in to the rich biblical and important scholarly background that makes this book one for the hungry hearts of those who long for more meaning to one of the most, till now, mysterious passages in all of the Bible.

And one more thing: it will make all that's happening in the world today make more and more sense.

Here's to mind-spinning Bible study!

Excellent as always from Heiser

Yet another thorough breakdown of the true supernatural world of the Bible. Heiser is excellent. The reader of this one sometimes sounds like he's reading sarcastically, but he sounded the same in "The Façade" so I think that's just his voice. excellent regardless

GET THIS BOOK!

I LOVE every book I've read by Dr. Heiser (this one, Unseen Realm, Angels and Demons. He is truly devoted to getting believers back to a supernatural reading of the Bible and goes into extraordinary detail, historical and theological, to bring that goal to fruition!
