Robert H. Schuller

Robert Harold Schuller was an American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

Ordained as a minister, he gained fame in 1955 by preaching from a drive-in movie theatre's concession stand roof.

Schuller's innovative approach combined elements of psychology with Christian teachings, attracting a wide audience.

His messages often focused on positive thinking and personal growth, which some critics in the Christian community labeled as a "feel-good gospel." Schuller's ministry grew significantly, leading to the construction of the Crystal Cathedral.

Despite controversy over his teachings and use of funds, Schuller remained a influential figure in American Christianity and self-help literature throughout his career.
