My book, Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim, is now available from my online store and Amazon.
It has taken a little while, but my book Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim has reached the top 10 in both of its categories on Amazon. As of my latest check, it was ranked #9 in Christian Angelology and Demonology and #6 in Old Testament Bible Study (Books). This is thanks in large part to two strong months of sales following several interviews I have done (details below).
Fallen addresses that strange and controversial passage in Genesis 6:1–4. Historically, there have been three major interpretations regarding the identity of the “sons of God” in this passage, and there are a few less common interpretations as well. My book offers a detailed analysis of this passage and the three major views while demonstrating how only one of these positions properly explains the text, makes sense of the context, fits the narrative of Scripture, and adequately addresses all objections. The best arguments for each view are examined and then analyzed in light of Scripture and history. All of the objections raised against each position are also given space and examined to see whether one of the views withstands scrutiny.
While the first 16 chapters of Fallen focus on the identity of the sons of God, much of the second half of the book studies the subject of the Nephilim (“giants” in many Bibles). Many people conflate these two groups, but a careful reading of the text shows that the Nephilim were on the earth because of what the sons of God did.
There is significant interest in this topic. I often have people approach me after a presentation on a different subject, and they want to ask me about this passage. Numerous books have been written on the topic as well, but a large percentage of them emphasize some of the sensationalism that is often associated with this topic. My goal was to write the most detailed Bible study on the topic that has been done to this point and avoid the sensationalism. After completing my ThM thesis on the subject in 2011, I spent eight more years studying and writing on the topic before Fallen was published. At just under 500 pages, I believe I have accomplished my goal of producing the most in-depth (yet largely easy to follow) book on the sons of God and the Nephilim available anywhere. One may disagree with my conclusions, but he or she will undoubtedly gain a deeper understanding of this passage while reading the book.
