Kevin Vanhoozer on the Prosperity Gospel
The so-called prosperity gospel⏤that it is God’s will that believers accumulate literal wealth, and that donations to Christian ministries will increase the odds of one’s attaining this blessed state⏤is a false gospel that nullifies the cross. Interestingly for our purposes, it is particularly nondenominational churches led by a single pastor that seem the most susceptible to this theological virus. – Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Biblical Authority After Babel, pp. 180-81.
