This article needs a great deal of expansion to do justice to a major religious figure of 20th century America. In particular:
I agree, I will attempt to add more information. J.B. 02/01/2006
Under 'religious views' there was the statement that the 'Bob Jones Creed harmonized with the Apostles Creed and the Nicene creed'
I don't understand this statement. Bob Jones creed fails to mention the Humanity of Christ -- it fails to mention that Christ came to earth for the salvation of man (forgiveness of sin is not the same as salvation) It fails calls Christ the SON of God, but it fails to mention that christ IS God -- and the same sort of God as the Holy Spirit. Both the Apostles creed, and Nicea mention the Church.
I deleted the 'harmonized' statement -- because the creed I see is wholely different. Bob Jones's creed is closer to the private Creed of Arius than it is to Nicea. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/creeds2.iii.i.ix.html?highlight=private,creed,of,arius#highlight
Just a reminder that there are three Bob Joneses associated with Bob Jones University. Make sure that you know the difference between them.

Bob Jones Sr. seems to have some rather nasty opinions. I think this stuff ought to be included in the article...
Beyond merely accepting funds from the Klan, it has also been shown that Jones actively campaigned for Klan-backed political candidates in the 1920s (see Glenn Feldman, Politics, Society and the Klan in Alabama: 1915-1949). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.60.41.15 ( talk) 22:45, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Anyone else think the list of 'Chapel Sayings' would be better off in wikiquotes than here. Usually wikipedia tries to avoid having a long list of quotes from the subject. harlock_jds 20:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Bju logo.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The article states: (In Zanesville, Jones pounded the pulpit so hard that he broke it.)
This is a technical inaccuracy. While the word "pulpit" has perhaps come to reference the thing upon which a preacher's Bible and/or notes might rest, a "pulpit" is actually something that someone, the preacher, *stands* on or in, i.e., the platform. What Jones, Sr. broke was properly called the "desk." [Vaughn Hathaway]
"John" -- You cite that Jones' official biographer, R. K. Johnson, made an error in Jones Sr.'s name. Where is your citation that this is an error? I have read your reference to the speech on Lawrence Reynolds' father, but that does not conclusively prove that "Robert Davis Reynolds Jones" is the correct order. What other citations do you have? It seems very unlikely that the official biographer would get his subject's name wrong. Dan Turner, too, cites Jones Sr.'s namesake to be Alex's Confederate army buddy. So if you are correct that Jones Sr. was named after a country doc, you need to provide some more evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cklewis ( talk • contribs) 15:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
