Prosperity Gospel Research Paper

The term prosperity gospel, is in my opinion, a paradoxical term. The word prosperity can be in relation to a great deal of ideals, positive ideals, such as prosperity in happiness and success. But it can also have a negative connotation, like the one in this article, as the growing definition of prosperity is immediately associated with wealth and monetary success. The word gospel is holy as it's the voice of God's teaching. When two words are put together, one with negative conation, another with a positive, it doesn't seem right. Nor, does adhering to the teachings found in the gospel lead to a prosperous life, in a materialistic sense.
