It shifted how I thought about the biblical writings in general. Jesus mentioning the sons of God even... showed how prevalent an entire strain of thinking i'd never learned about was in the minds of ancient readers. It's humbling. It has helped me let go of certainty and lean into faith instead. Understanding mythology and it's role in the biblical texts has helped the biblical texts pop into 3-D
I enjoyed reading Michael Heiser! Keep it coming!.
Thanks Tea! His stuff on the Divine Council shifted my thinking a lot.
