Truth Matters: A Pastoral Assessment of Word of Faith Theology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781512710366)

Specific tenets of Word of Faith theology produce serious concerns in terms of their scriptural validity and continuity with orthodox Christian teaching. Scripture challenges believers to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God" (I John 4:1, NIV). In this volume, an attempt is made to test--or discern--specific claims of Word of Faith theology by comparing and contrasting them with the Word of God.
