The presentation follows Roberts’ life chronologically and is thus a resource to understand his life and ministry from his simple and even poor childhood through growth, success and failures. Only in the epilogue does the author step forward with some discussion of Roberts’ role in the area of prosperity theologies and the relationship between the gospel and American culture. |
