Review – Christianity in Crisis, 21st Century

In “Christianity in Crisis”, Hank Hanegraaff does an excellent job of showing scripturally why the current “faith healing movement” is – for the most part – a sham.

In this 427-page exposé, Hanegraaff discusses the various beliefs and teachings of some of the “great faith leaders”, and showing how their teachings are no more than pure, unadulterated heresy. He points out many erroneous and doctrinally unsupported (and often heretical) statements such as “any of us could have redeemed the world, had we known what Jesus knew”, “God was the greatest failure of all time”, and a shocking statement from Benny Hinn that “Don’t tell me you have Jesus. You are everything He was and everything He is and ever He shall be…”, and Creflo Dollar “Because you came from God you are gods — you’re not just human.”

Hanegraaff points out how these fallacies cause insurmountable harm, and problems in the Christian church. The book is well rounded, and fully documented with Biblical verses and facts, not just opinions. Although the book is well rounded, it is also over long, and repetitive. Although he documents well each of the faith teachers and their theology, one doesn’t have to read about each one for Hanegraaf to make his point. Many of them hold to similar theologies, and therefore it becomes difficult to not repeat what was said about another. However, the sum of the book is great reading, and highly recommended for anyone looking on defending the Truth of the gospel against the heretical teachings of the faith movement.
