Description: Live Long and Prosper : How Black Megachurches Address HIV/AIDS and Poverty in the Age of Prosperity Theology, Paperback by Barnes, Sandra L., ISBN 0823249573, ISBN-13 9780823249572, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Barnes (School of Divinity, Vanderbilt University) studies 16 black megachurches in the US that espouse prosperity theology (also known as health and wealth theology). She asks whether these churches actually help their members and communities with the problems of poverty and AIDS, or whether they merely prey on their members financially by offering unrealistic promises and failing to use their resources to help the poor. Using the research method of frame analysis, the author examines church characteristics, such as theology, location, pastor's profile, and program efforts, and investigates whether they foster or undermine efforts to combat poverty and AIDS in the black community.
