About
Mike Heiser earned the M.A. and Ph.D.
in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. Before attending the UW-Madison, Mike earned
an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (major
fields: Ancient Israel and Egyptology). Mike was hired as the Academic
Editor of Logos Bible
Software shortly after completing his Ph.D. Before joining Logos,
Mike spent twelve years teaching biblical studies, history, and biblical
languages on the undergraduate level. Mike’s main research interests are
Israelite religion (especially Israel’s divine council), biblical
theology, ancient Near Eastern religion, biblical languages, ancient
Semitic languages, the history of the biblical texts, and ancient Jewish
binitarian monotheism. His dissertation was entitled, "The Divine
Council in Late Canonical and Non-Canonical Second Temple Jewish
Literature.” The dissertation sought to discern the ancient Israelite
background to Judaism's "Two Powers in Heaven" godhead teaching.
