A Statement on the Prosperity Gospel, the Lausanne Theology Working Group's own 2009 statement, is the working group's official position within the wider Lausanne Movement of evangelical churches, not an independent academic study. Its authority is that of a body convened specifically to weigh theological questions across evangelical traditions, so it is a reliable primary record of that consultation's own conclusion. Its limit is that it is itself an advocacy document arguing a position rather than a neutral survey of the prosperity gospel's varieties. Cite it for the working group's own stated view; an independent academic assessment needs a dedicated scholarly source.
