Hank Hanegraaff

Hank Hanegraaff is an American author and radio talk-show host and a proponent of evangelical Christianity. He is the current president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the "Bible Answer Man" radio program, on which he discusses Christian apologetics and Biblical hermeneutics. Hanegraaff is notable for his belief that Biblical inerrancy can be proven on a rational basis. Hanegraaff has also been an outspoken opponent of what he describes as pseudo-Christian cults, such as the word-of-faith movement. His books include Christianity in Crisis, Counterfeit Revival, and The Covering.

Both the Christian Research Institute and the "Bible Answer Man" program were begun by Hanegraaff's predecessor, Walter R. Martin.
