Possible edit to include section on Hinn’s Nephew

Costi Hinn, nephew of Benny Hinn recently published a book about his experiences with the “Prosperity Gospel,” and how he came to realize the falsehoods of it. As he is a primary source having literal front row seats to his “ministry,” should we mention this under controversies. Costi called out Hinn’s preaching and called him a false teacher. He also called out the lavish lifestyle the Hinn’s live, especially as Costi believes that the “ministry” is scamming people on false hope.

Book is “God, Greed and the (Prosperity) Gospel” by Costi Hinn, 2019. I can get more source data if needed.

This is to add to the controversy of Hinn’s ministry, and I wish for someone who can write it in an unbiased manner.

Agreed. It is definitely notable and his criticism has been featured in national media. I have now contributed a section about it.Programmerarn (talk) 21:15, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"The Victims of Benny Hinn: 30 Years of Spiritual Deception."

A four-hour long documentary by a Christian YouTuber may be notable of including in this article, as it has gained notable attention both on YouTube and many Christian-based magazines. Hinn himself seems to have also indirectly addressed the controversy.
