Osteenification is nothing short of the wholesale transformation of American Christianity. The fresh new face of “baptized” humanistic psychology—a new Babel reaching to the heavens, all the while promising “your best life now.” In short, Joel Osteen is the de facto high priest of a new brand of Christianity perfectly suited for a feel-good generation. From Genesis to Revelation, Osteen simply uses Scripture to communicate whatever he wants. And that is what the Osteenification of Christianity is—it is conforming Scripture to cultural norms as opposed to allowing the plain reading of the biblical text to transform. The glory of the cross exchanged for the paltry glory of consumerism. The battle for authentic Christianity has never been more intense. And that’s precisely why Hank Hanegraaff has written this new book to help friends like you who support the Christian Research Institute and the Bible Answer Man broadcast.
