About this title

Review:

"A rich ideological analysis of black megachurches from within comparative theological frames that include social gospel, liberation, prophetic, and prosperity gospel in relation to 'calling' and 'corner.'"----Victor Anderson "Vanderbilt University "

"A pioneering work! Dr. Barnes offers us a vitally important contribution, not only for black church scholarship, but for sociology of culture, sociology of religion, with implications in social movement theory, urban sociology, and American studies."----Shayne Lee "University of Houston "

This new study of the black megachurch phenomenon asks whether such megachurches are more focused on prosperity than on people.----Publishers Weekly
