American religious historian Kate Bowler (2013) states that Hagin, while not alone in his views, was the most powerful theological influence of the prosperity gospel.Hagin was primarily known as a …

Healing is a major theme in, and explanation for, the global expansion of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity (or “Pentecostalism”) over the course of the twentieth century.

A more “developed” hermeneutic theologically and contextually speaki…
