A Tale of Two Unseen Realm Reviews
My bestselling book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible , was recently reviewed in two places online. The book has been positively reviewed in academic outlets, evangelical or otherwise, since its debut in 2015 (JETS, Themelios, RBL)....
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....
Bart Ehrman’s “Forged” Book About New Testament Pseudonymity: Extended Review by Ben Witherington
Hat tip to Shaun , who directed me to the fact that Ben Witherington blogged on each chapter of Bart’s book back when it came out, some years ago. The first of the series is here . I post this even though it’s well after the fact because I get a lot of...
Review of Mike’s Angels Book by Gospel Coalition

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...
Mike’s Recent Review of a Book on Israelite Religion in Themelios
Click here to read my most recent scholarly book review. But honestly, the real reasons I post about this are twofold: (1) there are several important books reviewed at the link, and (2) you should all know about the journal Themelios. Themelios is a a free online...
Jason Colavito’s Review of “Sekret Machines: Gods” by Tom DeLonge with Peter Levenda
Another solid review by Jason Colavito. If you’ve ever read one of Jason’s lengthy reviews you know it’s not just an essay informing his readers about what’s in a particular book or a simplistic “liked it … hated it” exercise....
Reversing Hermon: “A Fantastic Follow-Up to Unseen Realm”
That’s the opinion of early reviewers. Reversing Hermon isn’t my planned sequel to The Unseen Realm, but it does continue the conversation. I’ll take it! Hope you’ll read it!
Book Review: The New Christian Zionism
Most Christians are interested (and many absorbed) by the topic of the future of Israel and how, in the wake of the New Testament emphasis on the Church as the people of God (Gentiles included), Israel still matters. The New Christian Zionism: Fresh Perspectives on...
Parts 2 through 9 of Ben Witherington’s Review of The Unseen Realm
Yes, you read that correctly – 9 parts. I’ve been out of commission for about a week with grading, travel time, and now in an intensive teaching week with “Fern and Audrey” and a dozen other folks. So … I fell behind keeping track of...

I’m grateful that Dr. Ben Witherington has taken the time to not only read my book, The Unseen Realm, but also to blog about it. Here is the first installment of his review, which took the form of an interview/exchange with me. Ben is a well-known New Testament...

Reviews of Scholarly Books in Biblical Studies, Archaeology, and Theology
I don’t recall ever having blogged about the RBL site and blog (Review of Biblical Literature). Both the website and blog provide free access to book reviews on scholarly books for biblical studies, archaeology, and theology. The most recent issue showed up in...
