Vivid and fairly-told. I walked in disparaging, walked out respectful. Tied well to the Oklahoma region and its history, tying it into the charismatic movement in that place. The prosperity gospel is toxic, but Roberts is genuine. Looking forward to reading future research on the tie between Roberts’ mid-20C prosperity gospel and the emergence of the Word-Faith movement.
