Since then I've bought several copies and given them away, one to our minister who responded that "Michael Heiser could possibly be the best theologian of our time". Though good, he sadly hasn't become "the rare honest preacher" you referenced. How I long for that.
As I said upthread, a lot of preachers know that if they told the unvarnished Biblical truth from the pulpit, their congregation would run for the hills screaming.
And since the Bible is the Truth, it is upsetting to think people aren't getting the straight scoop about it.
