Here's the latest in the series of Bible Project videos I was blessed to consult on. Enjoy!
Unseen Realm
New Bible Project Video on the Divine Council
Hat's off to all the folks working hard at the Bible Project! I appreciate the Bible Project's attention to the content of my books, The Unseen Realm and it's "lite" (no footnotes!) version, Supernatural. Nice to see biblical theology viewed through the...
Bible Project Video on “Elohim”
Here's the second installment of the Bible Project's video series tracking on content items in my book, The Unseen Realm. Another job well done. Check it out!
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...
The Logic of What I’m Publishing and Some Reviews of What Does God Want?
I’ve been asked the following many times when I’m out speaking: Do you have small group material for people new to the content of Supernatural and Unseen Realm? How can I teach other people in my church about this content? The answer to the first is yes – What Does...
Elohim, Divine Council, Psalm 82, OT Monotheism Archive
I get a lot of email about my views on Yahweh and divine plurality. You’d think people would find my material via Google or my divine council website, but I guess not. I’m making this page for you all, of course, but also to provide myself a convenient one-stop link...
Ancient Origins Writer Inserts Asherah into the Biblical Text
I received an email today asking this question: "Mike - is this a good rendition? I read where an early rendition of Deuteronomy 33.2-3, when Asherah’s influence had not yet been fully subordinated reads: 'YHWH came from Sinai and shone forth.... at his right hand his...
Frank Viola’s New Book, Insurgence
Some of you may know the name Frank Viola. Frank has published several best-selling books in the wider Christian world. He spent a lot of time reading through and blogging about (very favorably) my own book, The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of...
Naked Bible Conference Speaker and Topic Profile #2
Our first speaker and topic profile for this summer's inaugural Naked Bible Conference focused on Dr. Bill Arnold. Our second speaker and topic profile takes a look at Dr. Archie Wright. Dr. Wright will be familiar to some who follow the podcast and follow me on...
Thoughts on the Year 70 Israel Tour
As many of you know, I just returned from a trip to Israel. The trip was created and conducted by Lipkin Tours. Along with Derek and Sharon Gilbert, I was a host on the tour. This allowed me to comment on certain sites and content points along the tour as we were led...
What is the Bible’s Big Story? Part 1
A guest post by Dr. Ronn Johnson I recently heard that we see more images or pictures in one day (whether on our phone, on the TV, on a billboard, etc.) than a pre-Renaissance person would have seen over the course of their entire lifetime. Apparently our brains have...
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...
Supernatural Translations Posted on the MIQLAT Site
Most of you will know that my non-profit, MIQLAT, is funding the translation of my book, Supernatural: What the Bible Says About the Unseen World--And Why it Matters. It's the "lite" version of The Unseen Realm. Over 20 translations are running or have been...
Of Yehovah and Jehovah’s Witnesses
A week or so ago I saw something on Twitter that made me shake my head. An apparently well meaning Hebrew enthusiast gleefully reported that, after searching through hundreds of manuscripts, he'd found thousands of places where the divine name (YHWH) was vocalized by...
Misquoted (Or Perhaps Misunderstood) in a Recent Book
This isn't a big deal, but it's sort of illustrative of how I can be misunderstood, and how Bible translations can be misleading. I recently received an email that alerted me to the above this way: The present globalist-versus-Christian war is taking place in both the...
