Synopsis

Selling God unveils the subtle deceptions behind the unorthodox theology commonly referred to as the prosperity gospel and contrasts those misleading truth claims against the true gospel as delineated in scripture.

While many in Christianity have identified the pernicious claims of Prosperityism, directly associating them with certain televangelists, authors, and megachurch pastors, I am going a step further to suggest the errors that are presented in the prosperity gospel narratives are more widespread and invasive than most believe.

The prosperity gospel (often referred to in this book as Prosperityism) has a distinctive allure, which is not from the Holy Spirit but pleases the human flesh. If the concept is pleasing to man, perhaps it can be sold. In this book, I am making the case that the miracles and blessings of God should not be sold. When God's holy blessings are marketed, the gospel of Christ is sacrificed on the altar of material gain.

We all want to be prosperous, and throughout scripture, we see that prosperity, as defined by God, is awarded to righteous living. Nevertheless, this prosperity is characterized by God's holy nature, which is in direct contrast to that presented in the "health and wealth" gospels.

Prosperityism can be identified by persons or groups that alter, either through omitting or reinterpreting, scripture verses to present a marketable narrative that attracts and maintains adherents. When this happens, the gospel and the church suffer the inevitable consequences.

In the book Selling God, my interest is preserving the true and undefiled gospel of Christ.
