Thesis (Ph.D.)--Drew University, 1990.

Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948) has virtually escaped scholarly notice, and yet his influence on the twentieth-century Church (particularly its Pentecostal and Charismatic expressions) is profound. Kenyon's own evangelistic work was thoroughly interdenominational, touching every major Protestant denomination of his day. These efforts were reinforced by his widely circulated books and periodicals as well as his nationwide radio ministry--an area in which Kenyon was a pioneer. Further extending Kenyon's influence, were the hundreds of students who graduated from this Bethel Bible Institute (now merged with Gordon College), who entered the pulpits of numerous denominations or embarked on missionary careers. Of a more dubious nature, Kenyon's writings have been widely plagiarized, thus spreading his teachings, if not his name.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Essek William Kenyon (1867-1948) has virtually escaped scholarly notice, and yet his influence on the twentieth-century Church (particularly its Pentecostal and Charismatic expressions) is profound. Kenyon's own evangelistic work was thoroughly interdenominational, touching every major Protestant denomination of his day. These efforts were reinforced by his widely circulated books and periodicals as well as his nationwide radio ministry--an area in which Kenyon was a pioneer. Further extending Kenyon's influence, were the hundreds of students who graduated from this Bethel Bible Institute (now merged with Gordon College), who entered the pulpits of numerous denominations or embarked on missionary careers.

520 $a In the rare instances where Kenyon has been a subject of study, he is usually linked with either the holiness/Pentecostal tradition or the mental healing movement known as New Thought. This dissertation will explore these sources in order to demonstrate that Kenyon's message of peace, power, and plenty is a unique hybrid created from the grafting together of various faith-cure and mind-cure sources. Consequently, this study will focus on Kenyon himself, and therefore, those sources which directly affected his thought will be widely exploited (e.g., George Muller, Charles Cullis, R. A. Torrey, Charles Wesley Emerson, Henry Drummond, and Ralph Waldo Trine). However, in the process of charting these sources a secondary goal--the comparison of New Thought and Evangelical sources--will be achieved. Such a comparison will reveal that, although the two groups differed in their definitions of the nature of the individual's power source, the methods employed in tapping this power and the promised results of its exercise were strikingly similar. Thus, we will show that in many ways New Thought and the Higher Christian Life were birds of a feather emerging from the same Gilded Age.
