Blessed

Kate Bowler's Blessed explores the rise and influence of the prosperity gospel, a movement within American Christianity that links spiritual progress with wealth and health. Tracing its origins from early 20th-century figures to contemporary megachurch preachers like Joel Osteen and T. D. Jakes, the book examines how this movement has come to shape much of modern religious life. Bowler provides an insightful overview of the shared themes and key figures that define this widespread phenomenon, offering both scholarly and general listeners a deeper understanding of its cultural impact.
