  • Guide Salvation with a Smile.Indd
    Salvation with a Smile Joel Osteen, Lakewood Church, and American Christianity INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE Joel Osteen, the smiling preacher, has quick- ly emerged as one of the most recognizable Protestant leaders in the country. His mega- church, the Houston based Lakewood Church, hosts an average of over 40,000 worshipers each week. Osteen is the best-selling author of numerous books, and his sermons and in- spirational talks appear regularly on main- stream cable and satellite radio. Salvation with a Smile, the fi rst book devoted to Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen, offers a critical history of the congregation by linking its origins to post-World War II neopentecos- talism, and connecting it to the exceptional- ly popular prosperity gospel movement and the enduring attraction of televangelism. In this richly documented book, historian Phillip Luke Sinitiere carefully excavates the life and times of Lakewood’s founder, John Osteen, to explain how his son Joel expanded his legacy and fashioned the congregation into Ameri- ca’s largest megachurch. As a popular preacher, Joel Osteen’s ministry has been a source of existential strength for many, but also the routine target of religious critics who vociferously contend that his teach- ings are theologically suspect and spiritually shallow. Sinitiere’s keen analysis shows how Osteen’s rebuttals have expressed a piety of resistance that demonstrates evangelicalism’s fractured, but persistent presence. Salvation with a Smile situates Lakewood Church in the context of American religious history and illuminates how Osteen has par- layed an understanding of American religious and political culture into vast popularity and success.

  • A D~Cflonary of Reng~Ous Lfteracy
    Six A D~cflonary of ReNg~ous Lfteracy What Every American Jn Cultural Literacy E. D. Hirsch provided a sixty-four-page appendix of Needs to Know and Doesn’t Iterms literate Americans supposedly already knew. Hirsch did not define those terms. He said that you should know who the Abominable Snowman is, but he didn’t tell you that you could find him in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (or for that matter in Himalayan mythology). The fol lowing dictionary, instead of providing a similarly exhaustive accounting of what religiously literate Americans ought to kno~ offers a more mod est list. Learning five thousand terms is not necessary; a hundred or so is a good start. But knowing what these terms mean is essential. So unlike Hirsch’s appendix, this chapter provides definitions of its terms. This dictionary does not try to duplicate the information you might learn in a Religion 101 course. It focuses instead on information US citi ~O7 zens need to make sense of their country and the world—the key stories, doctrines, practices, symbols, scriptures, people, places, phrases, groups, and holidays of the world’s major religions. When it came to preparing this list, the key question was: What does one need to know to under stand and participate in religiously inflected public debates? Consider Sufism: a primer on Islam would doubtless deal with Sufi mysticism, but this dictionary ignores Sufism in order to focus on sectarian divisions inside Islam that are more salient in the contemporary United States (including Wahhabism, which has ridden a wave of Saudi money into f-IarpcrSanFrancisco American mosques).

  • The Megachurch and the Religious Marketplace Faith Nelson Seniors
    The Megachurch and the Religious Marketplace Faith Nelson Seniors Honor Thesis Religion Program Goucher College Spring 2019 Introduction 2 Megachurch History 12 Megachurches: Space and What They Offer 22 An Economic Analysis 33 Conclusion 47 Works Cited 51 1 Introduction The headline, “Joel Osteen Shuts Megachurch amid Flooding Crisis,” was the first time I heard about megachurches. The church was Joel Osteen’s Lakewood megachurch in Houston, Texas. Lakewood’s spokesman said that, “While the church and its arena have not suffered any flood damage yet...their property is inaccessible because of surrounding waters” (Li). There were different reports floating around, some saying that the church was not open due to flooding in the building and then this claim from the Lakewood spokesman that the church was inaccessible due to flooding in the area. It is interesting to note that a nearby convention center had been set up by the city as a shelter for those displaced by the flooding, and the spokesman went on to say that, “And it makes no sense to open church doors when the city and county are already treating thousands of flood victims at the nearby George R. Brown Convention Center” (Li). The spokesperson seems to lack compassion, especially considering Hurricane Harvey affected an estimated 100,000 homes and rendered many of them too damaged or destroyed to be habitable. As a result, there were more than 30,000 people staying in emergency shelters, and it is estimated that there were even more displaced people who were staying with friends and family (Fessler). According to a CNN report, “it was not until the city's convention center reported ​ twice as many evacuees as its capacity, Osteen's facility was publicly welcoming displaced ​ Houstonians” (Ellefson).

This study analyzes how it is marketed at Oasis Church in Hollywood, California, Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, and Victory Family Church in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. The dissertation examines how these churches market Prosperity Theology online and offline to determine the themes and emphases of their messages, whether the content changes based on the audience, if the audience is affecting the presentation of the message, and, if so, in what ways. Included in this investigation is rhetorical analysis of the sermons, websites, and Twitter posts of the pastors to determine themes that emerge in their presentations.

  • Lakewood Church Wedding Guidelines Office & Off-Site Weddings
    Lakewood Church Wedding Guidelines Office & Off-Site Weddings Lakewood Church believes in the sanctity of marriage according to Mark 10:6-9 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” A wedding is one of the most important days in a person’s life, and we want to make your wedding at Lakewood Church as wonderful as possible. The following are the Lakewood Church Wedding Guidelines for Office and Off-Site Weddings to help plan for your special day: Lakewood Minister Everyone desiring to be married at Lakewood Church must agree to have an ordained Lakewood Church minister. Due to their schedules, our Pastors Joel and Victoria and Associate Pastor, John Gray are not available for weddings. A list of available ministers will be provided upon request. Marriage License A Texas marriage license is required for all weddings to take place through Lakewood Church. Each couple is responsible for obtaining their marriage license through their county clerk’s office and should be valid at the time of the wedding. Pre-Marital Course We’re excited to announce our partnership with Twogether in Texas. In the Texas legislature, a bill passed in 2007 that further expands healthy marriage efforts in Texas by encouraging those planning to marry to complete eight hours of research-based instruction on skills including managing conflict, communication, and elements of a successful marriage.
