The term "American Gospel" does not appear in the Bible; rather, it is often used to describe a particular interpretation or presentation of the Christian message that has emerged in American culture. This concept can encompass a range of ideas, including the prosperity gospel, which promotes the belief that faith can lead to financial and physical well-being, and other movements that emphasize individualism, success, and personal fulfillment within a Christian framework. Biblically, the gospel itself is rooted in the message of Jesus Christ, focusing on salvation, grace, and reconciliation with God (John 3:16; Romans 1:16). The Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, outlines the core elements of the gospel: Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as the foundation of faith. Some critics of the "American Gospel" argue that it can distort the original message of the Bible by prioritizing material success over spiritual integrity and communal responsibility. Hence, while the gospel remains a universal message, its interpretation and application can vary significantly across cultural contexts.
