One of my biggest issues with Heiser is his poor theological reasoning. In one chapter, he argues from texts in Job that angels are not sinless because they don't share God's inherently holy nature. They're called holy because they serve in close proximity to God.
But how can anything unholy serve in God's presence? It's obvious from Scripture that's impossible without atonement. Who atoned for the angels' sins?

Multiple of the chapters in the miscellaneous section of the book are actually quite helpful summaries of complex topic (e.g., the date of the Canaanite Conquest and the destruction of Jericho).
But then again, most chapters still have at least one characteristically Heiserian sloppy line, like in the chapter where he argued salvation was by faith in the OT -- just a different object of faith!

Man, when I read some of the things Heiser wrote here, I can only be thankful that he was a believer, and he's conscious of being forgiven for the hermeneutics he taught.

Reading for a research project. Heiser has, unfortunately, afforded me some absolutely perfect quotes to pull.
