“As many prosperity theologians do today, many Israelites, including Job’s friends, turned the assurance of communal blessings into a guarantee of personal riches. Notice that even as Moses promised material blessings to the nation for its faithfulness, he realistically made adequate provision for the poor individuals who will be with us always.”
Gary Moore in Faithful Finances 101 (West Conshohocken, PA: Templeton Foundation Press, 2005) 36.
