Review for "Has God Spoken? Proof of the Bible's Dviine Inspiration" by Hank Hanegraaff

Review for “Has God Spoken? Proof of the Bible’s Divine Inspiration” by Hank Hanegraaff, published by Thomas Nelson

It was a great privilege extended to me by the folks at Thomas Nelson, Book Sneeze, to receive this book and to review it.

I should simply start off by emphatically saying that I loved this book. I though Hanegraaff did a great job of presenting the information in an enjoyable manner but also in a well organized method.

Not only did the style of writing and organization of the book make it an interesting read but it is also very teachable. It would work well for a small group; large group; or individual study.

The Bible Answer Man has presented the various proofs by utilizing acrostics. The overall acrostic for the book is the word “M-A-P-S.” The four letters represent the four parts of the book “Manuscripts, Archaeology, Prophetic, and Scripture.” Each of these words has its own acrostic as he systematically presents evidence to show the Bible really is God’s spoken Word and refutes critics for their arguments against the Bible being God’s spoken Word.

One other thing Hanegraaff did that I appreciated was that he provided some of the arguments from modern day skeptics. The list of these modern day skeptics includes popular author Richard Dawkins; and Bart Ehrman, distinguished professor of religious studies at the prestigious University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Hanegraaff writes that Ehrman appears to be “peculiarly proud of causing the faith of many of his students to waver.”

As this book takes you through a variety of proofs….all working together…..you will not only find your own faith being strengthened but you will also find that you will be able to help those who are asking questions and faltering in their own faith.

This is the first book written by Hank Hanegraaff that I’ve read. He has written many. This book, “Has God Spoken?” is the final book in a trilogy written by Hanegraaff. The first two books were: “The Farce of Evolution” and “Resurrection.” I think after reading this book, I would most certainly enjoy and benefit from reading the first two books of this trilogy.

I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who has questions or to anyone who simply wants to know more. You won't be disappointed!
