Reversing Hermon

Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ

By: Michael S. Heiser

Narrated by: Michael Duty

Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

This is an academic work describing how the New Testament writers re-purpose Genesis 6:1-5 in their presentation of Jesus as messiah. Though every topic addressed in Reversing Hermon can be found in scholarly academic literature, Reversing Hermon is the first book to gather this information and make it accessible to Bible students everywhere. The book also includes lengthy appendices on the ancient debate on the inspiration of the book of 1 Enoch, New Testament allusions to the book, and academic resources for studying 1 Enoch and the Book of Giants from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

would be better with Author Narration

I really enjoyed this book, it will change how you view your faith and your mission while on this journey.

another great book from Heiser

if you have read Heiser's other book, Unseen Realm, you'll definitely want to read this one.

Great collection of thoughts on the subject.

I have the other works of Dr. Michael Heiser. This one in particular focuses on the sin of the watchers. I like how the original research he did for The Unseen Realm is so broad that many other books can come out of it with more research on the focused subjects. The only reason I took one star off of the performance is that the narrators voice will change between certain areas of the book. I can only guess it had to be rerecorded or done after the previous recording and added in later. It's not anything obtrusive but when listening it is noticable. I highly recommend reading or listening to The Unseen Realm as a basis to get a good understanding of Dr. Heiser's thought process.

Intriguing

There were glitches, especially chapter 9. But content was thought provoking.There are a lot of details so be prepared to engage thoughtfully.

I like this narrator!

His inflection and emphasis keeps me attentive to the reading. And of course the content is superb, bringing me back for another session time after time. Dr. Heiser is missed.

The Narrator made it difficult to finish

I love Dr. Heiser's work and was eager to get this, but the narrator made it difficult for me to finish listening. I tried to power through, but he was too distracting. Ill have to get the physical book.

Who are the Nephalim?

Very scholarly work. Performer reads the footnote references. That was little distracting to me, since I was listening to it to get an overview of his thoughts. I definitely will buy the print copy so that I can study it and be able to consult the footnotes.

An Educational read.

I learned a lot from this book, lots of information and the supporting sources. If you are a Christian and interested in the Biblical book of Genesis, then this help fill in some of the details lost on the modern western mind.

"snotty" reading

Michael Heiser was a damn interesting Biblical scholar with some crucial insights. i'm sad that it's now "was" instead of "is"......... i have no idea why this narrator affects this bizarre, snotty tone throughout. it's *really* off-putting.

The Author is Amazing...The Narrator is terrible!

I can tell the author did a lot of research in this book. It is amazing because of that but it was hard to listen to because the narrator was terrible..
