Royal Riches

Every day a new gospel is proclaimed in the media: the prosperity gospel. This gospel teaches that God desires to fulfill all our wishes for health, wealth, and happiness; one only needs to have enough faith. God wants His children to have it all. Is this the Gospel? Or is it a selfish appeal to our materialistic impulses, which omits the message of Jesus and the Cross?

Authors David Jones and Russell Woodbridge believe that the prosperity gospel is built upon defective theology. In this book, they examine the five main areas of error related to its teaching on wealth. Fairly, yet firmly, the authors discuss the history and theology of the prosperity gospel movement, and reveal its biblically erroneous core teachings that have been historically and popularly misinterpreted. After an introduction and evaluation of the movement, readers are provided with a study of the Scriptures to understand what the Bible says about wealth, poverty, suffering, and offerings.
