The Prosperity Gospel in Africa

Meer over het boek

The book explores the intersection of the prosperity gospel and African traditional beliefs, highlighting how American prosperity teachers have shaped contemporary African views on wealth. It examines the influence of this message within the African Pentecostal movement, emphasizing the risks it poses to believers' faith and the potential disillusionment that arises when followers invest their trust and resources in seemingly effective but ultimately misleading formulas. The research addresses the cultural and spiritual implications of this phenomenon in post-colonial Africa.
