It’s one of the biggest theological issues pastors trained by Langham mention. For people living in desperate circumstances, it can be an easy and tempting source of hope. But ultimately, it’s leading people away from the true hope found in Jesus.

To counter that threat, the Lausanne Movement’s Theology Working Group — including two Langham scholars and Dr. Chris Wright, Langham’s global ambassador — produced A Statement on the Prosperity Gospel, which explains what the prosperity gospel is, how it’s being used in the global church and why it can be so dangerous.
