Have questions about the unseen, supernatural world of the Bible? Dr. Heiser has answers. Recognizing the supernatural worldview of the Bible is necessary to understand Scripture as a whole story that points to the redemption of God’s family through Jesus. The “weird” stuff in the Bible is important and was written on purpose. In this course, we get answers to your most frequently asked questions about the unseen realm and supernatural worldview of the biblical authors. It’s designed to introduce you to the supernatural themes of the Bible and prepare you for Unseen Ream 101 and Unseen Realm 102.

I've been reading Dr. Heiser's books, listening to his Naked Bible podcast, and YouTube videos and find this course just as interesting and informative as those.

Very thought provoking. Helps me to understand the spiritual realm differently. I appreciated how the course bring together different pieces of scripture to create the picture of the spiritual realm.
