Listen Later

In this episode Dr. Mikael Stenhammar delves into the

intriguing question: Can one be righteous and rich? This inquiry stirs various theological perspectives, from the Word
of Faith Prosperity Gospel's assertion that riches indicate righteousness and faith, to the poverty gospel's contrasting view that riches denote wickedness and greed. However, here Mikael, drawing on the work of Chris Wright, introduces a nuanced perspective known as provision theology, suggesting that the righteousness of wealth depends on certain factors, four of which are discussed here:

  1. Remembering the Source of Wealth
  2. Guarding Against Idolizing Wealth
  3. Recognizing the Secondary Nature of Wealth
  4. Viewing Wealth within God’s Greater Story
  5. You can download Chris Wright’s article “The Righteous Rich in the Old Testament” here:
