The Indignity of the Prosperity Gospel – Femi Adeleye

The gospel of prosperity is a significant challenge to the church, especially in areas of extreme poverty and extreme wealth. Femi Adeleye (Ghana/Nigeria) shows how this ‘gospel’ undermines dignity while affirming the affluent in their lifestyle. Besides being unbiblical, it is not really a solution to the challenge of poverty.

This presentation was part of the multiplex ‘Poverty, Prosperity, and the Gospel’ at Cape Town 2010. View all presentations from this multiplex.
