How Health And Wealth Theology Grew Out Of Healing Revival Culture

John and Chino examine how the prosperity gospel developed out of earlier Pentecostal healing movements, tracing connections through William Branham, Oral Roberts, Hobart Freeman, and the broader culture of postwar revivalism. They argue that "health and wealth" teaching was not a separate invention, but an extension of faith-healing systems that conditioned followers to expect blessing, test faith through sacrifice, and trust charismatic leaders who claimed unusual spiritual power.

The discussion also explores how fundraising appeals, binding-and-loosing practices, prophetic urgency, and minister-centered authority shaped later charismatic theology. Along the way, John and Chino contrast those patterns with the humility, suffering, and stewardship seen in the New Testament, especially in the lives of Jesus, Paul, and the early church.
