Overview

Kate Bowler's Blessed represents the first attempt to examine the twentieth-century American prosperity gospel movement as a whole, seeking to introduce readers to its major figures and features, including its continuing pursuit of divine wealth, as believers look to their bank accounts for proof of their spiritual progress, and divine health, as believers use their bodies as barometers of faith.
