Untitled[edit]

The initial form of this article was deficient in that it provided no information on Ramm's birth and death dates, nothing about his career, education, no mention of what apologetic school of thought he belonged to, and the bibliography was most unsatisfactory in that it only furnished book titles without any publication data.

While the person who created this page is sincere, simply saying was a theologian, and that he wrote a book highly received and then have a quote from it about the Bible's dependability is not good enough for an encyclopedia. It was of such a quality as to be in danger of deletion. One other word of preparatory advice is, go to the on-line catalogue of the Library of Congress first and check your bibliographical details. Doing this ensures accurate lists of a person's work, can alert you to scholarly studies done on the person, and any biographies written. It also obviates the need for later editorial work being done to clean up an article.

Much more needs to be said about Ramm's theological work, especially to what extent his work in later years reflected more Barthian leanings.

Ramm deserves to be in Wiki as he played a part in the post-war neo-evangelical tradition.
