70. Remembering Michael Heiser

Episode 70 - Remembering Michael Heiser Feb 22, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall In this episode, we take a moment to memorialize the passing of the theologian and scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In 2020, Heiser was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Pancreatic cancer. On Feb 15, 2023 he turned 60, and five days later he transitioned to experience the unseen realm he wrote so much about. He was a Christian author and biblical Old Testament scholar whose area of expertise was the nature of the spiritual realm, specifically the ANE worldview of the Divine Council. I'll describe all the podcasting techniques I've "borrowed" from him... and give my "Top 5" all-time episode of his Naked Bible Podcast.

Working through books of the Bible. Topical Episodes Interpreting the Bible thematically. Sometimes the answers to our biblical conundrums are available within the biblical text… but sometimes we need to go outside the text for cultural and contextual help. The familiar mantra, “The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it”… should likely be rephrased to say: “The Bible says it, I’m confused by it, perhaps I’m missing something, and maybe the ANE cultural context can give us insights into the problem.” That’s a little harder to remember, but I believe it’s closer to the truth of the situation.
