...Here's how it works. A colleague and I just did a story about something called prosperity theology based partly on John 10:10, so I key that in, and up pops the appropriate chapter of John in the New King James translation, with the verse hilighted in yellow: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." This is already an improvement over BibleGateway, which needs to be told to provide the verse in context. Better still...

Clearly, Rosso has been thinking about the next chapter. "We contributed to making jeans part of the luxury universe," explains Rosso.

...best life now," it opens, to see "your business taking off. See your marriage restored. See your family prospering. See your dreams come to pass ..." you must "start looking at life through eyes of faith." Jesus is front and center but not his Crucifixion, Resurrection or Atonement. There are chapters on overcoming trauma and a late chapter on emulating God's generosity. (And indeed, Osteen's church gave more than $1 million in relief money after Hurricane Katrina.) But there are many more illustrations of how the Prosperity doctrine has produced personal gain, most memorably, perhaps, for the Osteen family...
