Counterfeit Revival

Counterfeit Revival is a book by Hank Hanegraaff critical of many aspects of the modern charismatic and Third Wave movements in Evangelical Christianity.

Overview

Hanegraaff, who considers himself evangelical, is particularly critical of the so-called Toronto Blessing and Brownsville Revival. One of the book's primary arguments is that many ostensible "manifestations of the Spirit" in charismatic, Pentecostal, and third wave affiliated churches are caused by psychological manipulation of parishioners, and that many of the "signs and wonders" claimed by these churches are fraudulent or result from manipulation, peer pressure, subtle suggestions, altered states of consciousness from repetitive chanting or singing, and expectations of supernatural events.

He argues that many of the practices within these movements are not biblically sanctioned or appropriate, but have underlying aspects of scripture which are misinterpreted. He notes these movements rely too much on subjective experiences or feelings. Contrary to popular belief, this book does not endorse cessationism, and Hanegraaff does not hold this position. Rather, this book is critical of what he considers to be the extreme direction of some modern movements. It specifically quotes Benny Hinn, and other charismatics regarding their teachings and feelings.
