Esther Hamori’s newest book, GOD’S MONSTERS: VENGEFUL SPIRITS, DEADLY ANGELS, HYBRID CREATURES, AND DIVINE HITMEN OF THE BIBLE, is a fun and fascinating tour of the monstrous heavens. Endorsements by Bart Ehrman, Cornel West, and others, include: “With deep intelligence, literary flair, and wicked wit, Esther Hamori pulls no punches in exposing the terrors of the Bible and the multitudinous divine creatures that inhabit it… For those of us who believe in brutal honesty and in fighting horror with humor, this book is a godsend;” “Brilliant and powerful;” “A highly accessible romp across the Bible’s pages;” “A perfectly pitched mix of sharp wit and deep insight;” “Esther Hamori is an exceptionally expert, wise, and fun guide through the Bible’s most haunted realms.” She has a PhD in Hebrew and Judaic Studies from NYU and is Professor of Hebrew Bible at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Esther plays the violin, is determined to learn to taxi-whistle, and is a lifelong devotee of ancient mythology and any good monster lore.
