This blog post presents for the first time a report on F.F. Bosworth’s promotion of the prosperity message in his magazine, Exploits of Faith, in 1929, the year of the Great Depression. The author highlights the publication of A.J. Gordon’s article, “God’s Tenth,” in the November 1929 issue, and Bosworth’s article, “God's Financial Plan Insures the Prosperity of His People," which appeared in the May 1929 issue of the magazine.

The author notes: “Contrary to what some historians have argued, Bosworth preached on prosperity and he published articles on the topic. His writings indicate he was neither extreme nor extravagant. Yet, he clearly believed, like Gordon, that God rewards the faithful givers and tithers with blessings that may be spiritual and material in nature.”
