In chapter 9, “You Are the Righteousness of God,” Mumford tests the Word
of Faith teaching which asserts that believers have been declared
righteous in God’s sight and therefore have at work in them the same
unlimited ability and wisdom of God as Christ had. She contrasts Word of
Faith theology of the righteousness of God and the favor of God of
prosperity preachers with that of Swiss reformer John Calvin. In Sifting
the Wheat from the Chaff (the section in which she offers critique), she dissuades readers from conceiving of God as
their personal valet.
