Book Review: Has God Spoken by Hank Hanegraaff

“Has God Spoken, Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration” is the first book I have read by author Hank Hanegraaff. The title of the book portrays the message and the purpose as a book providing proof that the Holy Bible is given to us by the divine inspiration of God. The title promises to give proof that God indeed speaks to us through the Scriptures.

I am not a fan of acronyms. The proof the author provides of God speaking through his Word is detailed in the book through a variety of acronyms. To the credit of Mr. Hanegraaff, the material is presented in an interesting and engaging way. I did find “Has God Spoken, Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration” disappointing.

I was expecting to discover new insight about proving the Bible as divine inspiration. This expectation is brought about by the title of the book. While the overall message of the book can be used as proof of divine inspiration, the book seems more of a guide as to how to read and interpret Scripture. It is also my opinion the author, Hank Hanegraaff, uses the proof of divine inspiration to push forward his interpretation of doctrine, especially concerning eschatology. The attempts to establish doctrinal positions, basing them on his interpretation of prophecy, was a distraction for me from the overall message of the book.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
