Recurrent Themes and Forms of Support in Selected Speeches by Russell H. Conwell and Robert H. Schuller
Get PDFThis study, as an item of scholarly research, may partially fill the existing gap in research concerning the recurrence of themes and forms of support. Whether or not themes and forms of support recur from one speaker to another, this investigation may also provide insight into the practices of homilists. If themes and forms of support do recur from an earlier speaker to a later speaker, the study may be able to assign cause for such recurrence. Any conclusions that can be drawn explaining why themes and forms of support developed by one speaker recur in the rhetoric of another speaker will provide additional insight for the serious student of homiletics. Among the earlier speakers, Russell H. Conwell seems to stand out as having exerted considerable influence as a public speaker. In an attempt to calculate the extent of Conwell\u27s influence, Robert Shackleton said: As careful an estimate as could be made gave a conservative result of fully eight million hearers for his lectures; and adding the number to whom he has preached, who have been over five million, there is a total of well over thirteen million who have listened to Russell Conwell\u27s voice! Conwell\u27s most successful lecture was Acres of Diamonds; Temple University was founded with the profits from this lecture. In this lecture, as well as in his other addresses, Conwell stressed a theme contrary to what his audiences were accustomed to hearing from the platform

Reverend Horatio Alger Jr. and Dr Russell H. Conwell: Protestant Prescriptions for Social and Economic Mobility
No full textThis thesis intends to identify the precise prescriptions for social and economic mobility intended by Horatio Alger Jr. and Russell H. Conwell in their works Ragged Dick and “Acres of Diamonds.” Furthermore, to explain why their prescriptions diverge from one another using the methodological lens of modernist sociologist Max Weber and postmodernists Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. The intent is to set up a dynamic tension between modernist and postmodernist vantage points that will function as a heuristic device explaining the differences in the prescriptions articulated by Alger and Conwell. The thesis looks for the intersection of subjective experiences of Alger and Conwell that are of more objective relevance to the American way of life, then and today.
This paper sets up the dynamic tension between modernist attempts at objectivity and postmodernist acknowledgment of partial perspectives from a theoretical standpoint. This paper explores the theoretical intersection of subjective experience with the objective phenomenological reality we find ourselves. This thesis will historically and socially locate the works of Alger and Conwell and analyze them through the lens of Weber, Berger, and Luckman. There is an attempt to damage Weber’s historically framed analysis and Berger and Luckmann’s insistence on concrete social locations of knowledge by introducing the importance and explanatory value of life events. Furthermore, the possibility of timeless, durable prescriptive facts defying historical and social locations and engaging the phenomenological intersection of the subjective and objective. Ultimately suggesting this intersection is where knowledge is located
