From the introduction: “This book counters such contentions and crafts a cumulative case for the absolute authority of the Bible. It answers the question, ‘Has God spoken?’ in the affirmative and demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that the Bible is divine rather than merely human in origin. Without such assurance, Christianity would not have any more authority for faith and practice than does Islam, Mormonism, or a host of other misguided movements.”

I offer the above quote to set t More...

The first thing besides the cover that grabbed my attention is right under the title Has God Spoken? are the words Proof of the Bible’s Diving Inspiration. I must say the novel did lie. I did quite enjoy this book. It was a bit difficult to read, and took me awhile to get through. Some stuff just went way over my head. I think it would be better suited to a pastor, or bible student. I think it would make a great addition to any Christians library however. It also would make an excellent handboo More...

Using the memorable acronym MAPS, radio host and Bible scholar Hank Hanegraaff masterfully reveals four proofs that confirm the divine origin of the Bible. M represents the strength of the manuscript itself as many actual fragments have been locatedA stands for the archaeological proofs that have been uncoveredP is for the prophecy that has accurately predicted eventsS represents the scriptural synergy found in the unity, consistency, and harmony of the sixty-six books

Hanegraaf has produced yet another quality apologetic resource. While Hanegraaf is undoubtedly polemical, this comes with the territory of being the "Bible Answer Man." Readers will find a large range of questions addressed, ranging from textual criticism, to archaeology, to fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Hanegraaff closes with a helpful overview of hermeneutics (the study of how to interpret the Bible), illustrating how many liberal critics (as well as prophetic fundamentalists) More...

I was very excited to receive this book in the mail from booksneeze.com. (I received it free in exchange for my honest public review.) I love to read arguments supporting the Bible or Christianity as a whole. And I have heard great things about this author, about how very knowledgable he is and that he seeks to lead people to the true God.

In this book, Hanegraaf divides his arguments into an easy acronym, M-A-P-S, which stand for Manuscript Copies, Archaeologist's Spade, Prophetic More...

I have to review two separate issues from this book.

First off, content. I believe that the information provided in this book would be helpful to anyone who wants to strengthen their faith in the bible. The information about the actual existing bible manuscripts that we posses was very good. The author provides memorable acrostic poems to help the reader be able to keep this information readily available in their mind if they choose to share.

Second off, the writing... ( i a More...

I admit that I've always been a research and logic-driven person so I love the books that show evidence proving why our faith has stood the test of time. I don't need it -- but it is nice. :o)

This book manages to straddle sometimes being a bit over my head and sometimes feeling a little repetitive. I also wasn't sure I liked the acronyms or alliteration the author liked to use. It made me feel a little like it was a VBS or children's Sunday School lesson instead of a book clearly int More...

It is easier to reach those without knowledge of the scriptures, but when we encounter those with such knowledge are we really prepared? I thought I was until I began reading this book!

I am in a quandary as to where I even start in trying to review Has God Spoken? Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration by Hank Hanegraff, Host of Bible Answer Man! It is packed with information: external history, Noah's flood, copyist practices, archeology, the dead sea scrolls, prophecies, and so much More...

I had such high hopes for this book. The title sounds so promising. Especially the subtitle - "Proof of the Bible's Divine Inspiration". I was excited to read it and find out what the proof was.
Instead, I found the book to be SAD.

If you like acronyms, then this is the book for you. It has 9 acronyms and subacronyms in which Hank gives his "proof of the Bible's divine inspiration." He also ra More...
