New Book: Fantasy IRL
The fantasy worlds painted for us in our favorite books are not quite as far away from real life as some might think. The spiritual world of the Bible is dense. In the midst of existence is the Trinity, angels, demons, Satan, monsters, giants, supernatural gifts, an afterlife, bodily resurrection, and much more. Fantasy IRL is…

The Bait of the Cross
Satan portrayed his reign over the earth to Jesus when he showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and offered him authority over them if Jesus would only worship him.

Leviathan & ‘Elim
One of the reasons I would conclude that the Leviathan of the Bible is likely to be a mythical creature is because it has its roots in mythology outside of Israelite religion, and I think its mythical properties can be seen quite well in Job 41—especially when God says that, “When he raises himself up,…
