It's exceedingly unusual for me to share emails here that I get from Naked Bible Podcast listeners, or folks who read my books, or someone who has otherwise benefited from the content I try to produce. But this one captures why we do what we do on the podcast that I...
Dr. Heiser's Projects
Mike’s World
A bit of a personal aside for this post. Most readers know I'm busy (that word actually doesn't begin to describe the situation). But I sometimes get asked why I don't do certain things. For example ... Mike, why don't you / won't you: answer my email? spend time on...
Three New Items by Mike for Amazon Kindle
I've begun to move some of my academic papers to Kindle format. To this point, I've been selling them as PDF files. I'm going to phase those out and move what I can (by publishing permission) to Kindle. If you go to this link on the Kindle store, you'll see the three...
Old Post About My Being Censored by the History Channel
I just discovered that this very old web page (2003) doesn't live anywhere in my new website ecosystem. It's an orphan of my old website. Consequently, I'm posting it here so it does. Sorry that this appeared on Twitter, but that's automated. Anyway, I've been asked...
Looking Ahead to 2016 and Beyond – Obstacles and Opportunities
Well, December 22 is finally here. What's the big deal with the date? It marks the first time in almost six months that I have meaningful time to work on the things I care about -- things like blogging, reading and research, keeping up with my languages, and daring to...
Mike Heiser on Reddit “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) Session Tomorrow
I'll be on Reddit tomorrow at 12:30pm Pacific time for an AMA - "Ask Me Anything" - session. I've never been on Reddit before, so I can't tell you much. This is a first for me. I've been told I'll be for 1.5-2 hrs and will have to type my answers. Lexham / Faithlife...
Leading Conspiracist Jim Marrs Claims I’m a Government Informant
[Had to re-post this.] Awesome - I always knew I'd make it! Today I got an email that included this paragraph from the most recent Jim Marrs book (he's known for promoting just about every conspiracy under the sun): "Researchers that worked with Michael Heiser (that...
New MIQLAT Mission Video
I've made a new introductory video to explain the mission of my non-profit, MIQLAT. It runs just under 7 minutes. It has more detail than the old one and lays out our mission strategy. The video lives on the MIQLAT website here (please share), but I've embedded the...
Reflections on ETS, SBL, and Other Stuff
Well, I'm home after three weeks on the road (PA, Providence RI, Boston, and you can throw in NY, Connecticut, and New Jersey in if you count the driving). To say I'm glad would be quite an understatement. Of course I had fun, saw friends and family, and met new...
Mike Will No Longer Be Appearing on Paul E. Stevenson’s Revolutions Radio Show
[Addendum: It's been a while since posting this, and Mr. Stevenson has apologized to me. Consequently, I may at some point in the future do something "on air" with him, thought not on this show. In short, he did the right thing. That's all I know. I don't monitor his...
Unfiltered Fridays: Mike Heiser’s Weekly Post on the Logos Academic Blog
I just wanted to give Naked Bible Readers a heads up to something that begins today. In an effort to get my thinking and content to a wider audience and prepare uninitiated readers to what they'll read in The Unseen Realm and Supernatural, I'll be writing a weekly...
Want to Know a Little About the Content of Mike’s Sequel to the Facade?
You can learn some things about the Portent, the sequel to The Facade, in this interview I just did this past weekend. It's two hours, and we spend a lot of time talking about the sequel. I'm not giving away the store, but if you liked The Facade and want some idea of...
Eric Walker and Mike Heiser Take Lexham Press’s Demons Quiz
This was fun - Messianic rabbi Eric Walker walk through Lexham Press's Demons quiz (it markets my book). We both missed a few! Find out why:
Naked Bible Fantasy Football Winner
I'm happy to let the world know that the Pugnacious Pugs, led by my pug, Mori, dominated in the Naked Bible Fantasy Football league (291-189 over Craig's Steel Curtain). It's been a long time since I've won the league. Mori's drafting skills no doubt played a major...
It Had to Happen: Heiser-isms About the Bible
A few days ago while I was traveling this popped up on my Twitter account: 10 Quotes That Challenge the Way You Study the Bible It's a post by Jake Mailhout of Lexham Press about my new book, The Bible Unfiltered: Approaching Scripture on Its Own Terms. While blogging...
