Has God Spoken? by Hank Hanegraaff


Has God Spoken? by Hank Hanegraaff

Has God Spoken? is a book written by an apologist to show the truth of the Bible.  In particular, the author skillfully takes on the lies from popular author Bart Ehrman.  Ehrman continues to rejoice in robbing his students of their faith.  Mr. Hanegraaff chooses to build it up.  The author has done great research into the truth of the Bible and continually defends its authenticity and divine authorship.

I really wanted to like this book.  There are several great pieces of apologetics in it.  However, it struck me sometimes that the tone of the writing was somewhat pontificating.  Additionally, Mr. Hanegraaff uses a lot of mnemonics.  A lot.  Each section is a mnemonic.  Even within chapters he uses more mnemonics.  Sometimes it seemed the goal of the book was more for the author's amusement than to communicate truth to a reader.  That said, I have to give the book a mediocre rating.

I'd give this book 2 out of 5.
