The Pursuit and Acquisition of Health and Wealth

The Pursuit & Acquisition of Health & Wealth draws on extensive theological, sociological, and historical research, where Gerard Jacobs examines how traditional Chinese worldviews have influenced Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity’s understanding of prosperity, success, and well-being. Challenging popular assumptions about the "health and wealth" gospel, he uncovers the subtle ways cultural beliefs can shape Christian practice and theology. With clarity, insight, and pastoral sensitivity, this book invites believers, church leaders, and scholars to reflect on what it means to remain faithfully biblical in a culture driven by the pursuit of prosperity. A compelling and timely study, it offers fresh perspectives on discipleship, faith, and the transformative power of the Gospel in a rapidly changing world.
