Bible Exploration: The Hidden Realm In Which We Live - Hybrid

Middle / High School Class | Grades 7-10

  • This class aims to ignite a passion and interest in studying the Bible, and to help grow an increasing hunger for God’s Word within students.

    Mr. Chris leads the class through a Socratic discussion about some of the topics found in the book Supernatural, by Dr. Michael Heiser, while adding etymology, historical context, and cultural relevance.

    About the book: “The book’s goal is to help readers view the biblical text unfiltered by tradition or by theological presuppositions. He presents a clear biblical theology that cuts through our modern worldview that tends to ignore the unseen world. ‘People shouldn’t be protected from the Bible,’ Dr. Heiser says. But theological systems often do just that, by ‘explaining away’ difficult or troublesome passages of Scripture because their literal meaning doesn’t fit into our tidy systems.” —LOGOS

Bible Exploration: The Hidden Realm In Which We Live - HS

High School Class | Grades 10-12

  • This class aims to ignite a passion and interest in studying the Bible, and to help grow an increasing hunger for God’s Word within students.

    Mr. Chris leads the class through a Socratic discussion about some of the topics found in the book The Unseen Realm, by Dr. Michael Heiser, while adding etymology, historical context, and cultural relevance.

    About the book: “The book’s goal is to help readers view the biblical text unfiltered by tradition or by theological presuppositions. He presents a clear biblical theology that cuts through our modern worldview that tends to ignore the unseen world. ‘People shouldn’t be protected from the Bible,’ Dr. Heiser says. But theological systems often do just that, by ‘explaining away’ difficult or troublesome passages of Scripture because their literal meaning doesn’t fit into our tidy systems.” —LOGOS

    “There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser’s The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how prevalent and important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches.” —Dr. Darrell L. Bock
