Oprah Winfrey is a religious icon, says US professor
April 24th, 2011 - 11:23 am ICT by ANI
By using the techniques of a preacher, Winfrey has been able to create a new “gospel” that goes beyond just being a simple daytime TV show, Lofton wrote in her new book
‘Oprah: The Gospel of an Icon’.
“Gospel is a word that means ‘good news,’” the Daily Telegraph quoted Lofton as telling the New York Post.
“Oprah says that the good news is ‘you’.”
“Her spiritual revelation was converted into a corporate makeover,” Lofton said.
“Her show became ‘Change Your Life TV,” she added. (ANI)
