May 10, 2024 Josh Olds Comments Off on Reviving the Ancient Faith: The Story of Churches of Christ in America – Richard T. Hughes and James L. Gorman

Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel – Jonathan Roots

August 18, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel – Jonathan Roots

Oral Roberts is probably one of the most overlooked and understudied figures in American evangelicalism. His legacy—particularly within Tulsa, Oklahoma—is as big as his personality. Not quite as irenic as Billy Graham, not quite as […]
