The Prosperity Gospel
Canada’s The National Post featured an article this weekend on the prosperity gospel.

The Murder of Madalyn Murry O’Hair

    Optimistic Denominationalism

    It is one of the realities of the Christian faith that people love to criticize—the reality that there are a host of different denominations and a multitude of different expressions of Christian worship.
