Prosperity Gospel?: The Theological Structure of Word of Faith

This book offers a fresh and challenging analysis of the prosperity gospel by providing both a historical examination of its six theological features and a theological analysis of their interconnected roles. Uncovering new sources, the author presents a constructive theology of the Word of Faith movement, offering a deeper and more precise understanding of its development and function. Combining historical and theological methodologies, this work makes a significant contribution to the field, shedding light on previously unexplored historical roots of Word of Faith theology and revealing their profound theological implications. This title is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike, especially those interested in the world of Faith theology and its impact on contemporary religious thought.
