The pursuit and acquisition of health and wealth are part of a worldview that drives most societies and in this particular case, Singapore as a nation. _ e Singapore government’s core values for its community encompasses a strong work ethic in the nation’s pursuit to modernize and become a first world nation.

 

However, this worldview in Singapore stems from a comingling with non- Christian religions that have reconceptualized themselves with the socio-economic and political goals of Singaporean society. Subsequently they continue to be the authentic expression of the noblest longings of people that have become associated with their daily expressions shaping their history and culture.

 

This book attempts to show that, while Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity have played an important role in the growth of contemporary churches in Singapore, it has inadvertently presented a Christian message that appeals to the deeply embedded dominant religious secular worldview of its society within the context of health and wealth.
