John Hagee is a televangelist and pastor. He founded the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. His religious organization claims to be a non-denominational evangelical church with 17,000 members.
John Hagee graduated from Trinity University with B.S. in 1964. He was on a football scholarship and was on the Academic Dean's List. He also attended North Texas State University in 1966 where he received his Masters Degree. In 1989 he received his Honorary Doctorate from Oral Roberts University. His theological training came at Southwestern Bible Institute near Dallas. Hagee is married to Diana Castro Hagee and has five children.
Hagee is the CEO of Global Evangelism Television which telecasts his national radio and television ministry. The John Hagee Ministries is broadcast in the USA, Canada and allegedly in Europe, Africa, and many Third World nations.
He is the author of a many books. His ministry website claims that some made the New York Times Best Seller List and many had great successes in bookstores.
The John Hagee Ministries claims to have given more than $3.7 million to bring Soviet Jews from the former Soviet Union to Israel. According to his organizations website, John Hagee received many awards and recommendations in relations to those humanitarian contributions in regards to Israel.
While some, if not many, televangelists have been at the center of considerable controversies in the 1980s through various scandals, John Hagee has been, for a large part, free of such allegations. Moreover, Hagee could be considered relatively conservative compared to some other televangelists. Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and Oral Roberts have all, at times, retained national exposure for their flamboyant and vitriolic religious prophecies rendering them subject to derision. Nonetheless, John Hagee, following the dogmas and general accepted ideologies of evangelical ministers, condemns literature such as J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter, calling it contemporary witchcraft.
Video clips of Hagee have been shown as part of the "Godstuff" segment on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
