Word of Faith is a movement within charismatic Christianity which teaches that Christians can get power and financial prosperity through prayer, and that those who believe in Jesus' death and resurrection have the right to physical health.[1]: 8
The movement was founded by the American Kenneth Hagin in the 1960s, and has its roots in the teachings of E. W. Kenyon.[1]: 5–6
Word of Faith is rejected as unbiblical[2] and heretical[3] by almost all Christian scholars and theologians across nearly every denomination.[4][5][6][7] N. T. Wright, an Anglican bishop and theologian, referred to it as “myth” and a “pact with the Devil.”[8]
