{{d|g9}}
La '''teología de prosperidad''', a veces llamada '''evangelio de la prosperidad''', es una [[Teología cristiana|creencia]] religiosa compartida por algunos cristianos, quienes sostienen que la bendición financiera y el bieniestar físico son siempre la voluntad de [[Dios en el cristianismo|Dios]] para con ellos, y que la [[fe]], el discurso positivo y las donaciones a causas religiosas aumentarán la riqueza material propia. Está basada en interpretaciones de la [[Biblia]] que son tradición del [[judaísmo]] (con respecto a la [[Biblia hebrea]]), aunque en menor medida en el cristianismo. La teología de prosperidad ve la Biblia como un pacto entre Dios y humanos: si los humanos tienen fe en Dios, el entregará seguridad y prosperidad.

La doctrina enfatiza la importancia del [[empoderamiento]] personal, proponiendo que es la voluntad de Dios para su pueblo ser felices. La [[Expiación (religión)|expiación]] (reconciliación con Dios) se interpreta para incluir el alivio de la enfermedad y la pobreza, los cuales se consideran [[Maldición|maldiciones]] que se pueden romper por la fe. Se cree que esto se consigue a través de donaciones monetarias, visualización y confesión positiva.

En el [[Healing Revival|Healing Revivals]]&nbsp;de la década de 1950 la teología de la prosperidad alcanzó prominencia en los Estados Unidos, aunque algunos han asociado los orígenes de su teología al movimiento [[New Thought]], que empezó en el siglo XIX. Las enseñanzas de la prosperidad más tarde ocuparon un lugar prominente en el movimiento [[Word of Faith]] y el [[telenvagelismo]] de los años 1980. En las décadas de 1990 y 2000, influentes líderes del [[movimiento pentecostal]] y el [[movimiento carismático]] la adoptaron en los Estados Unidos y se ha propagado por todo el mundo. Algunas figuras prominentes su desarrollo son [[E. W. Kenyon]], [[Oral Roberts]], [[A. A. Allen]], [[Robert Tilton]], [[T. L. Osborn]], [[Joel Osteen]], [[Creflo Dollar]], [[Kenneth Copeland]], [[Mike Murdock]], [[Reverendo Ike]] y [[Kenneth Hagin]].

Varios líderes de varias denominaciones cristianas la han criticado, incluido dentro de los movimientos pentecostal y carismático, quiénes mantienen que  es irresponsable, promueve la [[idolatría]] y es contrariamente a las Escritura.
