I recently read through Hank Hanegraaff's Has God Spoken? and must
admit that it was better than I expected. I have heard Mr. Hanegraaff on
the radio (Bible Answer Man) and while I did not always agree with everything
that he said I found him to be knowledgeable and well spoken.
In this book he
discusses how we can know that our Bible today is reliable, accurate and
divinely inspired. Hanegraaff utilizes several acronyms to help us
remember his salient points. The book is divided into four sections:
Manuscripts, Archaeology, Prophecy & Scripture-- each showing the mounds of
evidence that the Bible is in fact God's inspired Word.
I appreciate that
Hanegraaff does not shy away from contradictions or "errors" that
are supposed to exist in our version of the Bible. Rather, he
addresses these head on and explains or expounds, but does not make
excuses.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the
truth about how we got our Bible. After
this reading I have a new appreciation for just how reliable our scripture is.
The integrity of the manuscripts, the evidence offered through archaeology, and
the fulfilled prophecies can leave little doubt that what we possess today is
an accurate copy of what God has spoken.
