The debate rages on aboutwhether these congregations are doing all they can to address specific challenges facing African American communities. Live Long and Prosper is a refreshing, innovative study that reaches beyond superficial understandings of the Black megachurch phenomenon in a piercing interrogation of how powerful megachurches address (or fail to address) two social crises in the Black community: HIV/AIDS andpoverty.Live Long and Prosper offers an intriguing examination of sixteen representative Black megachurches and explores some of their motivations and subsequent programmatic efforts in light of prosperity or “health and wealth” theology. Professor Barnes makes the case that the Black megachurch is a complex, contemporary model of the historic Black church in response to globalism, consumerism, secularism, religious syncretism, and the realities of race. She contends that many of these megachurches hold unique characteristics of adaptability and innovation that position them well to tackle difficult social issues. Prosperity theology emphasizes two characteristics—physical health and economic wealth—as examples of godly living and faith. This book considers whether and how efforts to address HIV/AIDS (a “health” issue) and poverty (a “wealth” issue) are influenced by church and clergy profiles; theology, in general; and prosperity theology, in particular. Frame analysis informs this mixed-methodological study to compare and contrast experiences, theological beliefs, pastoral profiles, and programs.Live Long and Prosper is a must-read for general readers, academics, and students alike—indeed, anyone interested in the contemporary Black megachurch’s response to social problems and the link between theology and social action. It is at once a fascinating, readable narrative and a rich piece of scholarship complete withextensively documented endnotes, statistics, informative charts and tables, and an exhaustive bibliography.African AmericansReligionBig churchesAfrican American churchesBlack theologyPovertyReligious aspectsChristianityChurch work with the poorAIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsChristianityChurch work with the sickFaith movement (Hagin)Black megachurch.HIV/AIDS.health and wealth theology.poverty.prosperity theology.African AmericansReligion.Big churches.African American churches.Black theology.PovertyReligious aspectsChristianity.Church work with the poor.AIDS (Disease)Religious aspectsChristianity.Church work with the sick.Faith movement (Hagin)277.3/08308996073Barnes Sandra L1111403MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786195703321Live long and prosper3724559UNINA
