| E.W. Kenyon |
On March 19, 1948, E.W.
Kenyon, noted author of books on faith and healing, died in the presence of his
daughter, Ruth. His death was reportedly caused by a lymphoid malignancy.
Kenyon was a contemporary of F.F. Bosworth. In 1948, Bosworth cited Kenyon
in his book, Christ the Healer. At the end of the chapter titled, “Our
Confession,” Bosworth wrote: “Most of
the thoughts expressed in this sermon I have brought together, by permission,
from the writings of Rev. E.W. Kenyon.” Bosworth’s articles appeared in several
issues of Kenyon’s Herald of Life publication between 1949 and 1964.
Kenyon has long been
considered the father of the modern Word of Faith movement. His teachings
inspired scores of leaders in the Pentecostal tradition, including T.L. Osborn
and Kenneth Hagin. Kenyon was a friend of Gordon Lindsay, who helped lead the
divine healing movement of the 1940s and 1950s. Osborn was quite fond of
Kenyon, so much so that he used Kenyon’s material in several books, including
the classic, Healing the Sick.
Kenyon Scholars Joe McIntyre and
Geir Lie have discussed the possibility of Bosworth meeting with Kenyon at some
point between 1906 and 1908 near Chicago. According to McIntyre, Kenyon’s daughter
said “Kenyon met Bosworth and (John Alexander) Dowie during a trip to Chicago.”
Kenyon wrote many books, most of which are having a global impact. Titles include Two Kinds of Faith, The Father and His Family, The Wonderful Name of Jesus, Two Kinds of Life, Jesus the Healer, In His Presence, Two Kinds of Love, Two Kinds of Righteousness, and Advanced Bible Course, among others.
