God and Advanced Mammon-Can Theological Types Handle Usury and Capitalism?
Academic journal article By Brat, David

Slightly more academic take on prosperity gospel.

Jesus says “give away your possessions, care about other people” and “usury sucks”—but if you have the secret decoder ring, the Christian God’s actually okay with it.

Economically elect equals spiritually elect equals morally just. That’s not scary and un-democratic, no.
