Prosperity, Theology, and Economy

Abstract

The chapters in this volume raise fascinating and important questions for understanding the intersection of prosperity, theology, and the economy. Applying sophisticated analyses from theology, biblical studies, ethics, cultural studies, anthropology, and the sociology of religion, they together provide multiple angles of vision upon Pentecostalism and the ideas and practices of prosperity theology. The authors raise points of tension and possible contradiction within this field; and, indeed, the chapters themselves represent divergent perspectives.
