John Collins is a biblical scholar of the highest order, an expert in Dead Sea Scrolls, Messianism, and Apocalyptic Literature, among other areas. I am reading his new book that is written for the general public. Here is a quote on prosperity gospel:
"Jesus did not preach any form of a prosperity gospel, even one with deferred eschatological payout. The promise of 'a hundredfold now in this age' is an outlier in this respect. What we find consistently in the Gospels is an ethic of detachment, which depreciates the value of worldly goods."
Ministers and Christians who promote the prosperity crap should take note: you are not arguing with me; you are arguing with the great John Collins.
