In Episode 28 of Doug Wilson’s Plodcast, Wilson is absolutely delighted with the book and claims that if you are unfamiliar with the concepts, it will likely forever change the way you read the Bible. Here are some questions it claims to answer, taken from the Amazon synopsis:
- Why wasn’t Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her?
- How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood?
- Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer?
- Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over?
- In what way do those beings participate in God’s decisions?
- Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits?
- Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership?
- Who are the “glorious ones” that even angels dare not rebuke?
I’ve ordered the book and will add it to the Books section once I’ve read it and can recommend it.
