The Bible is teeming with monsters.
For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God\'s Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible..
It\'s not only richer; the stories of the monsters of the Bible can be as fun, surprising, and interesting as any mythology .
Confronting God\'s monsters--and the God-monster--may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence.
Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, Creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)--these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God\'s own monstrosity.
Most of these monsters aren\'t God\'s opponents--they\'re God\'s entourage.
The pattern is chilling.
Demons aren\'t at war with angels; they\'re a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God.
And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God\'s vengeance.
Those cherubs? They\'re actually Hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies.
Traditional interpretations of the Creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light--or chubby, happy cherubs.
A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural Hitmen fill the biblical heavens, jarring in both their strangeness and their propensity for violence--especially on God\'s behalf.
Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey
Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea.
