anti-semitism

a well-informed section on their messianic "judaism" department would be helpful & enlightening. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:540:2:6F24:3945:F70B:BF15:A308 (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the main article

The main article needs a link to a complete list of publications offered by the earlier Colportage Library.

The official Moody Publications website appears to lack organized access to the earlier publications of the Colportage Library. For instance, I happened across Colportage Library #292, "Angels and Demons" and discovered it was not only out of print, but the official Moody Publications website does not even list the author, Mrs. George C. Needham, as one in its circle of authors, implying that the book has fallen out of favor somehow. For one thing, CL #292 "Angels and Demons" lacks a copyright notice, but that doesn't necessarily mean that some or all of that work is in the public domain. I was curious if there is a pattern of some kind as to which works of the Colportage Library are indeed out of print, or worse, fallen into censure. 198.177.27.23 22:29, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is much more that needs to be done to this page. Addationally, I would like to see current and former students getting involved with the information. MBI has changed much from what this whole article describes and needs to be updated. Such an example would be the new branch campus in Spokane, Washington. This is home to their Aviation Ministry, which uses the local community college for training. Also, with the school attracting more students, some have been accepted into what is called the 1 + 3 program. I would like to see this at the standards of many state colleges and university pages.Nick (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe also this link

https://archive.org/details/ThePhillipMedhurstPictureTorah467.MosesDescendsFromMountSinai.ExodusCap34Vv2935.Heuman

could help, or be placed in a separate page for Moody Institute of Science films, or as this page shows "Sermons from Science" as some movies each have there own page.

This page shows movies called

1 City of Bees 2 Dust or Destiny 3 Empty Cities 4 Experience With an Eel 5 Facts of Faith 6 God of Creation 7 God of the Atom 8 Hidden Treasures 9 Journey of Life 10 Of Books and Sloths 11 Prior claim 13 Red River of Life 14 Signposts Aloft 15 The Mystery of the Three Clocks 16 The Professor and the Prophets 17 The Ultimate Adventure 18 Time and Eternity 19 Voice of the Deep 20 Where the Waters Run 21 Windows of the Soul

Though I do not know if all these need a page or if these should be placed in a list here.

I do not know what, if any, videos are in the public domain, though this page shows a public domain mark, I do not yet know if these year MCMLXII to MCMLX films (if film 1 and 21 are listed by date) were put in the public domain.

History?

The history section here is a blank between 1900 and 2012. Is there no history? Or are there no sources available to give even the barest outline of the history for these 112 years? Carhutt (talk) 02:47, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed "defunct" from defunct media outlet?

@Hydrangeans, was surprised to see that my small changes on this sleepy article got your near-instant attention. (How?) The "Media Ministries" section starts with a statement that they have 2 media ministries (true) and then follows with 3 sections. For clarity, I added "(defunct)" to the magazine, which is defunct, no longer one of their media ministries. Wikipedian-in-Waiting (talk) 01:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About a month ago I was expanding Template:Evangelical Protestantism in the United States, and I added Moody Bible Institute to the template and have had the page watched since. I simply felt that including the word "defunct" in the header was a bit cluttery and that the defunct status could be stated sufficiently in the body text. Right you are though that it's confusing for the section to state there are two ministries and then list three. So I've added a sentence to the introduction of that section that mentions the magazine is defunct. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 01:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Our paths will probably cross again, then, as I'm trying to fix dead links and expand areas missing information for articles about people and organizations in the evangelical space from about 1900-1970, especially as they overlap with radio, publishing, and education. If you remember, I'd appreciate you dropping a bit of a line in the change log about *why* you make a change so that I can understand your thought processes as you monitor the updates. Wikipedian-in-Waiting (talk) 01:35, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A fair request on your part. This was certainly one of my weaker edit summaries; I explained that I reformatted the magazine citation but completely forgot to explain the subsection retitling, which is on me. Thanks for raising the matter here.

And sounds like you're getting into a fascinating topic area. Best regards with that; and happy editing! Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 02:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
