Essek William Kenyon
(1867 - 1948)
F.F. Bosworth’s Early Reference to E.W. Kenyon
In Bosworth’s classic, Christ the Healer, he mentions the fact that “most of the thoughts in this sermon [‘Our Confession’] I have brought together, by permission, from the writings of Rev. E.W. Kenyon.” Bosworth’s reference to Kenyon first appeared in the 1948 edition, though, while the book was first published as early as 1924.
I have not seen this article before. As you know, the 1948 edition of Christ the Healer has about twice the content of his 1924 edition (I did a study to compare the two editions). Kenyon is not mentioned in the 1924 edition, nor is the material of which Bosworth says he learned from Kenyon. Kenyon did have some associations with the Alliance in the 1920s, and Paul Radar, president of the Alliance after Simpson, was the director of Kenyon's school for a short time after he left the presidency of the Alliance in 1924.
Citing a section in his book, King explained that Kenyon “maintained a positive relationship with The Christian and Missionary Alliance for several years.”
