Daily Grind: The Spiritual Workday of the American Prosperity Gospel

Kate Bowler

Journal of Cultural Economy, 2015, vol. 8, issue 5, 630-636

Abstract: This paper responds to two common questions surrounding the controversy of the American prosperity gospel: what kind of work is the prosperity gospel and who does it benefit? I argue that the movement contains both heavily supernatural approaches and deeply pragmatic responses to the market. Further, its wealthy preachers are the most direct beneficiaries and the focus of the debate over the movement's claims.
