The Prosperity Gospel - VPRO documentary - 2013

Описание: Not islam, but Pentecostalism is the most succesful religion on earth. It expands like a global brand, efficiently evangelising the planet.

25% of the 2 billion Christians in the world now belong to a Pentecostal church and 35,000 new members are born again through baptism every day.

Wealth is good, so why not pray for a raise or a promotion at work?

Backlight explores two of the new prosperity churches: the Australian-led C3 Church in Amsterdam, and the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Lagos, Nigeria.
