Bible Note: Graceful Please tell me where Hank Hanegraaff said Kenyon majored in Metaphysics in college. I have searched all references to Kenyon in Hank's books. In Christianity in Crisis and I did find this statement, "Kenyon, the real father of the modern-day Faith Movememnt, "majored" in metaphysics." (Emphasis not mine) Christianity in Crisis published by Harvest House Publishing 1993 pg 67. This is not saying he majored in metaphysics in college, but rather Kenyon's philosophy majored in Metaphysics. As to his education Hank Hanegraaff states, “There is little doubt that New Thought metaphysics had an enormous impact on Kenyon. The evidence from his works, from eyewitnesses, and from external sources provide ample testimony to his cultic connections. Since a number of individuals have already established the cultic origins of the Faith movement via Kenyon, I will not belabor the point here.2 However, I think it is worth mentioning that Kenyon attended Emerson College of Oratory, which was a virtual hotbed of New Thought metaphysics.3 Christianity in Crisis published by Harvest House Publishing 1993 pg 331 Notice please the numbers 2 and 3 they are footnotes and I included the references. I think you will have to agree this is pretty impressive list of people that stated Kenyon was wrapped up in the Metaphysics besides Hanegraaff. 2. Notable works include Charles Farah, “A Critical Analysis: The ‘Roots’ and ‘Fruits of Faith Formula Theology” (paper presented at the Society for Pentecostal Studies, November 1980)James M. Kinnebrew, The Charismatic Doctrine of Positive Confession: A Historical, Exegetical and Theological Critique (doctoral dissertation, Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary1988); D.R. McConnell, The Kenyon Connection: A Theological and Historical Analysis of the Cultic Orgins of the Faith Movement. (master’s thesis, Oral Roberts University, 1982) and A Different Gospel (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, Inc., 1988); H. Terris Neuman, An Analysis of the Sources of the Charismatic Teaching of Positive Confession (unpublished paper, Wheaton Graduate School, 1980); “Cultic Origins of Word-Faith Theology Within the Charis-matic Movement” (Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, 12, 1, Spring 1990:3-55); and Dale H. Simmons, A Theological and Historical Analysis of Kenneth E. Hagin’s Claim to Be a Prophet (master’s thesis, Oral Roberts University, 1985). 3. See McConnell, A Different Gospel, 35-43. Christianity in Crisis published by Harvest House Publishing 1993 pg 407-408 All we have is the testimony of witnesses and the evidence of his fruit since Kenyon died in 1948. The testimony of the witnesses verify his philosophy was metaphysical. The evidence of his fruit shows he had metaphysical thoughts. Everyone can't be wrong. I think the proof is strong enough to conclude Kenyon was very much influenced by metaphysical philosophy EdB |
