Description
Book SynopsisThis work explores the meaning of the bible’s mysterious creatures with an emphasis on three creatures that all appear in the book of the prophet Isaiah: Lucifer (Isa 14:12), Leviathan (Isa 27:1), and Lilith (Isa 34:14). These mysterious creatures live on and can both inspire and cause fear.
Trade ReviewSoza has given us much to consider when it comes to the mysterious, non-human creatures mentioned in the Bible, and more generally, when it comes to the presence of good and evil in the world around us. Beginning with today’s fixation on Yeti, Frankenstein, and many others, he leads us through the macabre and fantastic creatures of antiquity, in order to understand how the Bible’s references to Leviathan, Behemoth, Lucifer, the “sea monsters” (Gen 1:21), and others, draw on our daily struggles with fears and deep-seated uncertainties in the human psyche. Along the way, Soza reminds us of the Bible’s message that the kingdom of God gains the final victory over all chaos and disorder. He has provided a welcome addition to the literature on this topic. Anyone looking for more on this fascinating subject will want to start here. -- Bill T. Arnold, Ph.D.
