520 |a Scholars of American religious history have used the term “New Thought” to refer either to individuals and churches that officially joined the International New Thought Alliance (INTA) or to American metaphysical religions affiliated with Phineas Quimby, Mary Baker Eddy, and Emma Curtis Hopkins. New Thought writers shared the idea that God is Mind. While many New Thought writers focused on healing, in this article I concentrate on those who wrote about prosperity and claimed that if one shifted one’s thinking toward abundance, God could manifest that reality. I argue that New Thought prosperity theology became popular in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s because its authors avoided the “New Thought” label in favor of traditional Christian terms, allowing New Thought prosperity theology to influence mainstream American culture, including the business community.
