Granville Oral Roberts was an American Charismatic Christian televangelist, who was one of the first to propagate Prosperity Gospel Theology.
He was ordained in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church from 1936 until his transfer to the United Methodist church in 1968, a controversial relationship that ended in 1987 when his credentials were revoked.
He is considered one of the forerunners of the Charismatic movement, and at the height of his career was one of the most recognized preachers in the US.
He founded the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University.
