The Prosperity Gospel is a large and growing global movement within charismatic Christianity, and a flash-point for debate among Christians. How should we understand this movement? Is it simply an infiltration of greed into the church by unscrupulous charismatic leaders, taking advantage of the poor? Or is that portrayal an oversimplification, missing the redeeming qualities of this movement? Dr. David Reed, Professor Emeritus of Pastoral Theology at Wycliffe College (Toronto, Canada) surveys the theology of the Prosperity Gospel movement, identifying both its potential weaknesses as well ass strengths. Pt. 2/2.
Dr. Reed was a guest lecturer within a course on Pentecostal Theology at Master's Pentecostal Seminary and Tyndale Seminary (Toronto, Canada). Recorded March 13, 2020.
