Reviews

[Kory Monk · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good primer on Apologetics but could be better the answers to questions are too brief and concise. I recommend all of the Answers books or the How Do We Know The Bible is True books 1 and 2 by Ken Ham.

[Nancy Bandusky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent little resource of biblical based answers to questions. The author keeps the answers brief by providing additional resources for further study.

One drawback is that there is no index so the reader has to look through the table of contents to find a particular topic.

I didn't find the answers to some of the questions satisfactory compared to other books I've read.

Hanegraaff sure does like this alliterations and anacronyms

As has been commented on, this book is written to provide short answers to Biblical questions. While I don't agree with some of the author's conclusions, that he bases upon scripture, I would hope that anyone reading it would use his answers to do their own research.

His interpretation of most of the answers are from a "Calvinistic" approach to scripture. While I also take that approach, I found some of his answers to be from "pop" theology point of view. Many of today's radio speakers take that approach.

Because of the great Biblical "illiteracy" in even the Christian community, mostly because many do not read the Bible but leave it on the coffee table, I would hope that any reader would use this book as a starting point in search of answers to Biblical questions.

I do not consider myself a theologian but I would not allow the short answers given in this book to be the 'last" word to Bible questions.

If you like listening to the Bible Answer Man radio broadcast, you'll love this book. Hanegraaff answers some of the most difficult biblical questions in concise, easy to remember terms.

Love it, awesome book! Hank H. is one of my favorite author's. He rightfully divides the Word of God.

So many questions I have are covered. This book opened my eyes to what it means to follow Jesus the way The Bible intended us all to, with Scripture and Divine clarity.

[Kevin · Rating 1 out of 5]

The specific chapters are much too brief to properly deal with the topics discussed...not worth your time.

[Kate · Rating 1 out of 5]

Can only be used to confirm existing opinions rather than arguing against opposite ones. Had enough with his First of all, Furthermore, and Finally.

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good resource for many questions Christians and others often have regarding the Bible, Christianity, and other issues.

This is a great little book. I'm thinking about reading it again.
