THEOLOGIANS & PASTORS NEED A SUPERNATURAL WORLDVIEW. The Bible can only be interpreted correctly when we understand the worldview of its writers. Instead of basing interpretations on Christian history or theological traditions, the author recaptures the supernatural worldview of the original writers and readers. This book unlocks the meaning of many “problem” passages—verses that many Bible teachers pass over—by shifting readers back to the cultural viewpoint of the ancient writers of the Bible. Theological and social filters make reading the Bible “safe”—and predictable. Remove the filters, and discover in Scripture the story of an epic battle between the unseen forces of good and evil. This book equips pastors and Bible teachers to demonstrate the relevance of Scripture to a culture fascinated by the supernatural. The Bible has all of the supernatural drama of Stephen King with one unique difference—it’s all true. These are theological ideas whose time has come.

Neither is it a coincidence that Abraham’s offspring will be “as the stars.” While that phrase speaks of a numerical multitude
