editAlthough this article currently reads like an advertisement, I think it is worth saving. Baxter's activities may be interesting to scholars who study evangelical organisations or millenarianism in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. There should be enough information here to help them decide if it's worth tracking down the books and other sources for themselves. I'll try and scrape out a little of the cruft and ad-copy, although I'm not the best person to work on this topic. TECannon 05:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
I took this out: "It has now become the most widely circulated prophecy magazine in America." -- because it is uninformative. Cite some circulation numbers with dates and sources, if it's important. I shortened and combined the paragraphs on Baxter's publication history, removed some passive voice, and revised a little grammar. I moved the broadcast stuff after the publication stuff, but tried to be careful to keep the prophetic nonfiction and fiction separate. I've tried to be as respectful as possible of the original material while still supporting the conventions of writing. I left in some material I regarded as fairly information-free because I didn't want to completely change the sense of the article, but I encourage people with more specific knowledge to include it here. How much growth is "rapidly growing"? Where are the citations on the frequency of use of "New World Order" over the years? Thanks in advance for being patient with my attempts to help out here.

If he is a scholar, what is his educational background? He bills himself as "Dr. Irvin Baxter." There is nothing--NOTHING--I have seen he has any education except perhaps high school, and certainly not an earned doctorate. There is nothing on his website, and this is highly unusual any of these people don't list their educational background. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.56.31.15 (talk) 00:51, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
