Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. 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 Gods behalf.</strong></p><p>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. Those cherubs? Theyre actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out Gods vengeance. Demons arent at war with angels; theyre a distinct supernatural species used by Satan <em>and</em> by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters arent Gods opponents--theyre Gods entourage.</p><p>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 Gods own monstrosity. Confronting Gods monsters--and the God-monster--may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. Its not only richer; the stories of the monsters of the Bible can be as fun, surprising, and interesting as any mythology. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, <em>Gods Monsters</em> is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.</p>...2187977Gods Monsters526554https://www.gandhi.com.mx/gods-monsters-7/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2029470/03e7176c-fd1e-414e-ad3d-24f8d9b5fbe0.jpg?v=638345391982370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781506486338_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9781506486338_<p>What do the angels of death and other monstrous beings sent by God truly tell us about the Divine?</p><p>The Bible is full of monsters: giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. What we often believe is that God reliably vanquishes the monsters and protects us from harm. But when we look closer, we find that most of these monsters arent Gods opponents--they are Gods entourage. These shape-shifters, boundary crossers, and hybrid creatures often act with stunning brutality, all in Gods employ. In fact, every type of peculiar being in Gods company threatens, injures, tortures, or kills on behalf of the divine will. And each type of monster reflects a facet of Gods own monstrosity.</p><p>Confronting Gods monsters--and the God-monster--may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. The biblical writers unflinching depictions of the monstrous God create space for our own grief, anger, dissatisfaction, and protest. Gods Monsters invites us to wrestle honestly and rigorously with the monstrosity of the biblical God, perhaps to discover that if God can be held accountable, so too can those in Gods entourage.</p>...(*_*)9781506486338_<p><strong>The Bible is teeming with monsters.
