Review of "Christianity in Crisis"

In Christianity in Crisis, Hank Hanegraaff offers his response to the issues surrounding the prosperity Gospel. He defends traditional orthodoxy against the new teachings of various, popular pastors and speakers such as Joyce Meyer, T.D. Jakes, and Jesse Duplantis. Hanegraaff's critics will surely accuse him of heresy hunting, as he has relatively few positive comments on these teachers. In all honesty, it could be that Hanegraaff isn't completely objective. He often offers emotional appeals and does seem to take the teachers out of context at times. However besides these slight cautions, this book is extremely well-written. Hanegraaff has obviously placed a tremendous amount of time into researching and writing this volume. It is extremely thorough in its purpose to expose the underlying fallacies of these men and women. Simply put, I have never seen a book that was this well documented and researched. The indexing and documentation are extensive. This book belongs in every pastor's study as it will offer him quick answers to the questions of wondering church-goers.
