Guaranteed Pure: The Moody Bible Institute, Business, and the Making of Modern Evangelicalism

F.E. Jr. said: " In the modern age, with the use of phone apps, web pages, and social media, when folks are either pleased or displeased with a product or service, they can go and leave a review of said service on a multitude of platforms.
But what if the product or In the modern age, with the use of phone apps, web pages, and social media, when folks are either pleased or displeased with a product or service, they can go and leave a review of said service on a multitude of platforms.
But what if the product or service was religion, or what if it was a religious movement that was ignited long before you were born, and yet, you were caught up in its power? What if this product even had the power to influence Presidents and Presidential Administrations and affect not only domestic policy (Project 2025) but also foreign policy even now?
Timothy Gloge paints a portrait of early 20th-century Evangelicalism and the branding of certain themes you may be familiar with.
From another reviewer, "...Following notions invented between 1880-1920: "Personal relationship with God", "The Rapture", dispensationalism, and the generic "Fundamentals" of modern evangelicalism
"The Old Time Religion" we were sold as kids is not old at all. It was new. Brand new in the historical context of Christianity itself.
D.L. Moody (the founder of The Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, which was built to union bust and divert men's attention away from social justice issues of the day) and Henry Parsons Crowell (the name behind the "pure" branding of Quaker Oats Brand of Oatmeal) came together in an almost perfect storm of circumstances to create a "pure" brand of Christianity that was, in fact, sold to American consumers.
From the text itself, "....(Moody Bible Institute) was founded in the context of the labor strikes and riots in the 1880's and that it was funded by wealthy Chicagoans in the hopes that Moody would be able to train evangelists who would reach the urban masses, who, once converted, would cease agitating for more equitable treatment, including the 8-hour workday."
and of Parson's who would influence the 1919 Niagara Falls Convention, which was famous for the publication of the Fundamentals of the Faith.
"Crowell built his company by reshaping the oats market from an undifferentiated commodity business to a branded, packaged, and advertised product market. Instead of scooping oats from unmarked bins in general stores filled by wholesalers, consumers reached for the discreetly packaged and aggressively promoted brand whose smiling Quaker guaranteed purity. Crowell effectively cut out the wholesaler and diminished the quality oversight role of the retailer, while using modern methods of advertising to enhance consumer demand and build bonds of trust.
Gloege writes that Crowell applied that same branding approach to the publishing of The Fundamentals, consciously (!) working to subvert denominational authority. Quoting Baer again: "[i]f retailers were ministers and other religious workers, if wholesalers were denominations, and if the laity were consumers, then the nondenominational MBI sought to bypass denominations by going straight to ministers and especially laity with their religious product, trademarked by the Moody name and promoted as the safe and sound faith once delivered to the saints."
From a recipient of Evangelical Fundamentalism, my Yelp review would read thusly, "This product is garbage. Do Not Buy Into It." ...more "

Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for tho Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre’. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn’t stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you’re relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other’s that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don’t they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more
