In this kickoff conversation, our hosts introduce The Nephilim Myth and its unique approach. Why question the traditional view? Why focus solely on Scripture? Get a sense of what’s ahead as the hosts lay out the book’s purpose and the mystery at the heart of Genesis 6.
Samuel Delgado's book, "The Nephilim Myth," explores the controversy surrounding the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6, specifically focusing on the debate between the "Sethite view" and the "angelic view." The author recounts his personal journey, initially drawn to the angelic interpretation through various fringe Christian media, which he later recognized as a "destructive door" leading to false doctrines. Through his experience teaching the Bible and observing students' unbiased interpretations, Delgado became convinced of the Sethite view, which interprets Genesis 6 within its immediate textual context of human lineages. The book aims to provide a comprehensive resource supporting the Sethite view, contrasting it with the prevalent angelic view and highlighting the consequences of each interpretation on understanding biblical narratives.
