THE WORD on The Word of Faith (a GroupBlog)

Whereas many, if not the majority, within the Evangelical church would strongly reject these and other peddlers of the “Word of Faith” heresy whose outlandish sermons are more easily recognized as being totally foreign to the biblical Gospel message of Jesus Christ, our guest Ken Jones warns that the infinitely more subtle tactics of a new breed of “Word of Faith” teachers has enabled them to smuggle dangerous heresies, including the “Prosperity Gospel”, into mainstream Evangelical churches, schools and homes undetected.

Our discussion today will draw heavily from research that Ken Jones has conducted while preparing for the chapter he was invited to write in the soon to be published book now under the working title: “I Know a Place: Bill Cosby & the Social Consciousness of America’s New Black Religious Leadership“, a new project in the making with Crossway Books, edited by Anthony B. Bradley, Assistant Professor of Apologetics & Systematic Theology at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO (see ). This work is a theological response to renowned comedian Bill Cosby’s book: “Come on, People: On the Path from Victims to Victors“.
