Summary: A historical tracing of the prosperity “gospel” from European mystic Swedenborg (1688-1772) up to the current day. The authors then move to a theological analysis of modern proponents like T. D. Jakes, Joyce Meyers, and the ubiquitous Osteen. They conclude with a theological discussion of what the Bible teaches on health, wealth, prosperity, and giving.
Benefits/Detriments: It might be too academic for the bulk of those attracted to prosperity teaching, but an extremely helpful overview.
Recommended for all, but likely most helpful for pastors and those who are well read.
