Free PDFs for Some Articles by Mike

by drmsheiser | Nov 4, 2010

I just found out via Liberty University (I’m adjunct for them in their distance program) that I can post links on my blog to free PDF articles that I have written.  I presume they have cleared everything with respect rights or they wouldn’t be suggesting this to increase readership. So, here you go if you are interested (I don’t imagine you have to have any sort of user name or password).

“Monotheism, Polytheism, Monolatry, or Henotheism? Toward an Assessment of
Divine Plurality in the Hebrew Bible” (Bulletin of Biblical Research)

“Are Yahweh and El Distinct Deities in Deut. 32:8-9 and Psalm 82?” (Hiphil journal)

“Deuteronomy 32:8 and the Sons of God” (BibSac)

“Does Deuteronomy 32:17 Assume or Deny the Reality of Other Gods?” (Bible Translator)

There is a strange irony to the internet: it makes it possible to share (and often preserve, at least over decades) good material widely, and just as possible for that same material to disappear into the noise. For those who have followed Dr. Heiser for long, you are...

I found this blog this morning via Twitter. It’s a new one, and begins with how to use Adobe Illustrator to trace out cuneiform tablets. I don’t have Illustrator, but if anyone in the graphic arts community knows of a similar (free) online tool for tracing...

Recordings of ETS Meeting Sessions

by | Nov 18, 2014 |

A commenter jarred my mind to recall that ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) sessions are recorded as MP3 files by a company who’s done that for years. Click here for that website. The link leads you to a “pre-pub” offer for this year’s...

    Thanks! I was thinking of buying the BibSac issue just for this article. Saved me a few bucks.

    Thanks for the papers btw, question regarding your paper on Yahweh v El;

    Does Exo 6:3 have any bearing at all on the name change or is it a separate issue that has more to do with Ugarit and Israel’s neighbours ?
