Complexities of Theologies of Wealth and Prosperity: Africa in Focus - Paperback

by Bosela E. Eale (Editor), Njoroge J. Ngige (Editor)

This volume addresses theologies of wealth and prosperity, focusing on the African church. Wealth and prosperity have become a subject of much wider interest in the church at all levels. The book responds to the emergence of prosperity gospel practices in both mission and African Independent Churches today, and gives biblical perspectives on wealth and prosperity drawn from the Old and the New Testaments. Preaching and teaching on wealth and prosperity have always been framed negatively. Discussions in this volume explore ways wealth and prosperity can be framed positively, given the fact that God has endowed Africa with enormous and abundant resources.
