Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a fresh and challenging analysis of the prosperity gospel by providing both a historical examination of its six theological features and a theological analysis of their interconnected roles. Uncovering new sources, the author presents a constructive theology of the Word of Faith movement, offering a deeper and more precise understanding of its development and function. Combining historical and theological methodologies, this work makes a significant contribution to the field, shedding light on previously unexplored historical roots of Word of Faith theology and revealing their profound theological implications. This title is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike, especially those interested in the world of Faith theology and its impact on contemporary religious thought. A recent doctoral graduate with research interest in the interactions between Christian theology and history within the last 200 years - especially relating to Pentecostal movements and specifically Word of Faith - my academic research is supported by practical experience within leadership of independent Pentecostal churches as well as 20 years of experience as a trade journalist working in the automotive industry, latterly as managing director of a niche publishing house.
