BMWs and McMansions: The Prosperity Gospel and American Congregational Life

The prosperity gospel has been a hot topic of late. Both the Atlantic and Harper's magazines have done cover stories on the subject.

Join us on Wednesday as we chat with Kate Bowler--a professor at Duke University and an interviewee for the Atlantic article--about the myths, dangers, and watch-signs relating to prosperity gospel.
