“Did Christianity Cause the Crash?” asks the provocative journalist Hanna Rosin in the December 09 issue of The Atlantic. Rosin’s well written article argues that the prosperity theology present in a significant amount of American churches has been a cause of the current economic crisis. In order to link this theology with the economic crisis, Rosin presents evidence to suggest that the areas, both geographic and demographic, where there was a high incidence of defaulted sub-prime mortgages are the same areas where the ‘health-and-wealth’ gospel prospered.
