Talk:Le Roy Froom

message: I notice that there is some confusion amongst Wikipedia articles as to the spelling of Froom's given name. I just checked the Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia, and his name is spelt "Le Roy", as here. (I have seen others spell it "LeRoy", which is presumably incorrect). Just thought I'd clarify what an authoritative source says. Colin MacLaurin 06:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Good job User:Taiwan boi in writing the section on the scholars' reception of Froom's book Prophetic Faith of our Fathers. It was neutral, and apparently from some of the most reliable sources, per Wikipedia standards. Good job! Colin MacLaurin (talk) 08:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're very welcome.  I have a large collection of theological journals (about two dozen), and PFOOF receives very high mention in a number of reviews, including the very recent review by Couch.  I was interested in doing this as there has been some discussion as to whether or not PFOOF is a reliable source.  It is certainly a reliable source, and treated as such in the scholarly literature.  Although frequently criticized for its narrow focus, its accuracy and honest presentation of its sources has never been impugned.  --Taiwan boi (talk) 08:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

message: What formal education does this man have?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.34.143 (talk) 00:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have not yet found a statement of his degrees, but did find this site where Froom is addressed as Dr. Froom by his contemporarites.  http://www.adventistalert.com/sda.ev/sda.ev.htm  -Allenroyboy (talk) 16:20, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

text: You got to be kidding, right?  This man's exhaustive work, the 4 vol of Prophetic faith of our fathers (2000+ pages), 2 vol of Conditionalist faith of our fathers (1000+ pages), and editor of Questions on Doctrine (500+ pages) (plus dozens of other books and articles), all of which have received positive scholarly critical review for more than 50 years, should itself show his qualification.  He has been recognized as a qualified scholar for more decades than you have been alive. The man certainly had a BA, MA, and PhD, but just because it has not yet been added to this particular article is hardly reason to disqualify him as a valid source.  You are really, really reaching on this.  (oh.  and you should learn how to sign your posts)  -Allenroyboy (talk) 18:10, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the man died many years ago, it is unlikely that anything about his education will be on-line.  I did find this however:  "He began his career as a pastor and then trained to be an editor at Pacific Press Publishing Association. He subsequently served as editor of the Chinese Signs of the Times, Watchman, and Ministry, the latter a magazine he started and edited. ... In addition to his work at the General Conference, Froom also taught historical theology at the Theological Seminary at Andrews University."   You don't work as a SDA pastor and then teach in the seminary without the proper education to back it up.  -Allenroyboy (talk) 19:26, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
