Well, I no longer remember the publication, but it was a Protestant author writing in a Protestant publication for other Protestants. The chance of dishonesty might have been high with such a set up as that.

“Moody is a revivalist school and would not contenance anyone on their faculty with that belief. It would be contrary to their statement of faith.”

So you say. Should I believe you or the guy who got the edited and reveiwed article published in a Protestant publication?

Let me see if I have this straight......

We are given a choice between believing b-d or believing your recollection of an article in a publication of which you don't recall the name, by an author you haven't identified, edited by someone who you also have not identified.

Given those options I would have done the same as Vlad.

No. Claiming that no one would ever do what in fact was done just because of a statement of faith that profs would be expected to adhere to is simply silly. It is the height of idealist based denial. There’s simply no reason to ignore these cases: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/aprilweb-only/114-24.0.html

As said, The chance of dishonesty might have been high with such a set up as that. I agree, that's why I'll go with B_D, too. We even have some Moody grads as Freepers. Perhaps we could get the scoop from someone who knows. Anyone who REALLY wants to know, can easily go to their website:http://www.moody.edu/edu_mainpage.aspx?id=1166
