Here, the question is whether churches, when they’re doing not-churchy things like selling real estate, are acting like a church or a business.

By Nathan Schneider

…sts like Jonathan Edwards and Charles Finney. They preached a Jesus of the frontier: muscular, self-reliant, and terse with words. Then comes a sequence of prosperity preachers and cowboy evangelists who have never ceased to capture American hearts.
