Horton, Osteen, and a Critique of the Prosperity Gospel

In Uncategorized on May 10, 2009 at 13:03

Michael Horton, professor of Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, California, has recently published an article titled, Joel Osteen and the Glory Story: A Case Study.           

In this article he examines the false notion that God is there for us and our happiness–the “prosperity gospel.” This article is a part of a collection of essays written recently by Dr. Horton after his interview on 60 Minutes which aired on October 14, 2007.    

Recently he has written, Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church, and has a book coming out this fall titled, The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World.
