In his editorial Alnor provided a link to the section in his doctoral dissertation on plagiarism that deals with Hank. Further, I repeat my call for Hanegraaff to leave the ministry of CRI. Don’t listen to his radio program, don’t buy his books, don’t contribute any money to CRI, don’t invite Hanegraaff to your conference or church, and tell your pastor and every Christian leader you know to do likewise.
My investigation that was part of my study of plagiarism in the religious media also underscores what action Christians should take concerning Hanegraaff and CRI: A complete boycott. Although some of Hanegraaff’s victims have cried foul, they have simply chosen not to seek legal remedies to punish Hanegraaff. My investigation has revealed that although some of Hanegraaff’s supporters have claimed the CRI president was “cleared” or “exonerated” of these charges, that is simply not true. In examining these allegations of plagiarism in connection with my doctoral dissertation project, I have prepared this brief summary of these instances in an effort to shed more light on the issue. The evidence is overwhelming: Christian Research Institute (CRI) President Hank Hanegraaff has engaged in serious instances of repeat plagiarism.
