Theology on Tap Chattanooga

"The Death & Afterlife of the American Prosperity Gospel" Dr. Kate Bowler


Listen Later

Recorded live on October 28, 2014 at The Camp House.

"Again and again, observers have predicted the death of the American prosperity gospel. Scandals. Economic depressions. Senate investigations. Failed miracles. The prosperity gospel has been pronounced dead and gone time and again since its inception in the 1950's. How has this message of divine health and wealth been resurrected in American Christianity? Meet the modern preachers of this changing movement and learn about how this theology of blessing has become, once again, one of the most popular religious movements in America."

Kate Bowler (Ph.D., Duke University) is assistant professor of the history of Christianity in the United States at Duke Divinity in Durham, North Carolina. Her first book, Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel (Oxford, 2013), traces the rise of Christian belief in divine promises of health, wealth, and happiness.
