God's Monsters
Book description
The Bible is teeming with monsters. 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 God's behalf.

Why read it?
1 author picked God's Monsters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hamori is a fantastic biblical scholar, whose work on divination is standard in the field.
In this book, she turns her attention to monsters, and makes the provocative argument that the biblical forces of good are just as monstrous as the forces of evil. It’s a fascinating way to unsettle what we think we know, and shake up the binary thinking that so often controls how we perceive the world around us.
From Brandon's list on horror and religion.
