Why do people punish their bodies to run a grueling marathon race? Most runners name two reasons: the sense of personal reward they get and the physical benefits of the exercise. The same two rewards apply in the spiritual realm: great prizes await those who persevere, and the very process of living by faith builds strong character.

Hank Hanegraaff

Hendrik „Hank“ Hanegraaff (* 1950) ist ein US-amerikanischer Autor und Apologet, der seit 1989 das Christian Research Institute leitet und durch die Radiosendung „The Bible Answer Man“ bekannt wurde. Er profilierte sich durch die rationale Verteidigung christlicher Grundlehren und seine Kritik am Wohlstandsevangelium, löste jedoch 2017 mit seinem Übertritt zur östlichen Orthodoxie anhaltende Kontroversen im evangelikalen Raum aus. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er systematische Erklärungen zu zentralen Bibelstellen und regt zur Auseinandersetzung über das Verhältnis von biblischer Autorität und historischer Kirchentradition an.
