In this immersive ethnography, Tony Tian-Ren Lin explores the
reasons that Latin American immigrants across the United States are
increasingly drawn to Prosperity Gospel Pentecostalism, a strand of
Protestantism gaining popularity around the world. Lin contends
that Latinos embrace Prosperity Gospel, which teaches that
believers may achieve both divine salvation and worldly success,
because it helps them account for the contradictions of their lives
as immigrants. Weaving together his informants' firsthand accounts
of their religious experiences and everyday lives, Lin offers
poignant insight into how they see their faith transforming them
both as individuals and as communities. The theology fuses
salvation with material goods so that as these immigrants pursue
spiritual rewards they are also, perhaps paradoxically, striving
for the American dream. After all, Lin observes, prosperity is the
gospel of the American dream. In this way, while becoming better
Prosperity Gospel Pentecostals they are also adopting traditional
white American norms. Yet this is not a typical story of smooth
assimilation as most of these immigrants must deal with the
immensity of the broader cultural and political resistance to their
actually becoming Americans. Rather, Prosperity Gospel
Pentecostalism gives Latinos the logic and understanding of
themselves as those who belong in this country yet remain perpetual
outsiders.
Many throughout the body of Christ view Andrew Murray as a man of
God who has left a lasting impact on the world with his life. Even
though he has passed on to be with the Lord, his works live on.
Divine Healing is a book written to teach the body of Christ about
a most misunderstood subject, namely - divine healing. With over 30
chapters, he expounds on the topic citing the Scriptures. Surely it
is a book to look into if you are interested in this very topic.
May God bless you as you read this book!
