Kate Bowler's Blessed represents the first attempt to examine the twentieth-century American prosperity gospel movement as a whole, seeking to introduce readers to its major figures and features. This includes its continuing pursuit of divine wealth as believers look to their bank accounts for proof of their spiritual progress, and divine health as believers use their bodies as barometers of faith.
