AMERICAN GOSPEL: Christ Alone

AMERICAN GOSPEL: Christ Alone is a film about what Americans understand to be the good news of the Christian faith. It asks, “Is Christianity, Christ + the American dream?” It then tells “how the prosperity gospel (the Word of Faith movement) has distorted the gospel message, and how this theology is being exported abroad.” It is, in short, a film about how the gospel espoused by so many so-called Christians is not good news at all. This gospel is not drawn from the Bible but from the worldly desire for a long, comfortable, and affluent life.
