Unseen Realm
Response to Dr. Thomas Howe’s Thoughts on The Unseen Realm
I’ve been asked by a couple of people to respond to Thomas Howe’s thoughts on The Unseen Realm. For those unfamiliar with Dr. Howe, he teaches apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, a school deservedly well known for important work in that field....
First Bible Project Video Re-Purposing Unseen Realm Content
Below is the first of a planned 2019 video series by the Bible Project folks that will re-purpose parts of my content in The Unseen Realm. It's an introduction to spiritual beings. No surprise -- it's cool. The Bible Project team is quite talented. Those of you who...
Core Ideas in The Unseen Realm
Over the past few days I've begun preparing for some speaking events that will happen in September and October related to The Unseen Realm. As things stand now, I've confirmed invitations from the messianic congregation Beit Tefillah in Gig Harbor, WA (Sept 12,...
Of Truth Watchers and Inept Readers
Those of you who have read my books (especially, The Unseen Realm) or heard me on interviews will enjoy this -- it's about what happens when people who don't read my books talk about what I believe. I usually don't respond to this sort of nonsense, because the people...
The Unseen Realm and the Mission of the Cross (the Church): A Common but Significant Question
This may be controversial in terms of the illustration I'll use, but I find the illustration has explanatory power. I think our real problem isn't how darkness has adapted, but how believers have changed (i.e., their thinking). I'll try and explain. I just posted this...
Article on the Blaze.com About Supernatural, The Unseen Realm, and Demons Come From
My thanks to Billy Hallowell of The Blaze for taking the time to interview me about the origin of demons. Those who follow this blog will be interested in reading my short essay on that on the Logos Talk blog -- and probably saddened by some of the comments to it. You...
The Unseen Realm: A Game-Changer for Evangelical Christianity
I'm grateful to Brian Godawa for his post today encouraging everyone in the evangelical orbit to read The Unseen Realm. I believe he's right -- it is indeed a game-changer. If people give it a read they will never be able to read their Bible the same way again. I know...

Amazing First Day for Unseen Realm
The launch of my book, The Unseen Realm, has been a great success. The good news is that, earlier in the day, the Kindle edition hit #1 on Amazon's "Hot New Releases" for Theology. It now stands (as of this post) at #2 The "bad" news is that we've learned that the...
Mike’s Divine Council Book First Draft Now Completed
Many of you know that I've been working (puttering is more accurate) on a book for non-specialists (i.e., lay people and pastors, not the academy) on what I refer to as the divine council worldview of the Bible. It's entitled The Myth That Is True. I've been at it for...

Just a quick note -- a review of my best-selling book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible, appeared today on the Christianity Today website. It's by Dr. Louis Markos, who will be familiar to the audience of Naked Bible Podcast. My...
Naked Bible Podcast, Unseen Realm, Supernatural, Bible Unfiltered Around the World
If you haven't listened to the 200th episode of the Naked Bible Podcast yet, you should. We talk to folks in three places (Middle East, Africa, Albania) about how Mike's content has had an impact and is being used to help others learn more about Scripture. Have a...
Lengthy Interview on Unseen Realm by Frank Viola on the Patheos Blog
I'm grateful to Frank Viola (the author, not the MLB pitcher!) for the time he invested into reading (studying, really) my book, The Unseen Realm. Frank is a best-selling author in the wider evangelical world, as well as a blogger and speaker. He gets the content of...
