When Angels Were Demons: The Mythic Wars of the Old Testament

By Devon Preston

Long before the Bible was written, the ancient world worshipped many powers of heaven and earth. Some were honored as gods, others were cast down and forgotten. This book reveals the untold story of those beings-the angels who were once gods, and the gods who became demons.

In When Angels Were Demons, scholar and writer Devon Preston explores how pre-Judaic deities were transformed into fallen angels through centuries of theological revision. Drawing on Hebrew scripture, Mesopotamian myth, Canaanite religion, and early Christian writings, this study uncovers the mythic wars that shaped the spiritual imagination of the ancient Near East.

Inside you will discover

- The divine council and the forgotten gods who stood beside Yahweh

- The Watchers and the Nephilim, the forbidden offspring of heaven and earth

- The real story behind Helel ben Shachar, later known as Lucifer

- The fall of Baal, Asherah, and other rival deities

- How ancient monsters like Leviathan became symbols of chaos and evil

- The evolution of Satan and the idea of cosmic rebellion

Rich in insight and historical depth, When Angels Were Demons invites readers to reconsider the origins of evil, belief, and divine power at the dawn of faith itself.
