The Sons of God and the Nephilim
Genesis 6 introduces two of the most mysterious groups in all of Scripture: the sons of God and the Nephilim (or giants). Scholars have been divided over this issue since the early days of the church. Were the sons of God really fallen angels that married women or were they something else? Were the Nephilim the offspring of the unions between the sons of God and women or were they already around prior to these marriage? Why were they on the earth again after the Flood as explained in Number 13?
Find out the truth about two of the greatest mysteries in Scripture as Tim clears up the misconceptions and presents one of the most detailed and scholarly studies ever done on this subject. Each of the major positions are examined in detail, showing both the arguments for and the objections to the respective views. In addition to a study of the relevant biblical passages, the author traces the historical development of the subject and evaluates related content in other ancient writings.
You may never look at the Old Testament the same way again.
