James Robert White (1962–present). Born on December 17, 1962, in Hennepin County, Minnesota, James White is an American Reformed Baptist pastor, apologist, and director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. Raised in a Christian family, he converted as a young man and pursued biblical studies, earning a BA in Bible (with a biology major and Greek minor) from Grand Canyon University (1985) and an MA from Fuller Theological Seminary. His ThM, ThD, and DMin degrees from Columbia Evangelical Seminary, an unaccredited online school, have drawn scrutiny over their legitimacy. Ordained in the Reformed Baptist tradition, White served as an elder at Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church (1998–2018) and became a pastor/elder at Apologia Church in Tempe, Arizona, in 2019. His preaching, featured on The Dividing Line webcast and at conferences, emphasizes biblical inerrancy, Calvinism, and apologetics, engaging topics like Catholicism, Mormonism, and Islam. A prolific debater, he has participated in over 190 public debates with scholars like Bart Ehrman and Shabir Ally, earning a reputation for rigorous defense of Protestant theology. White has authored over 24 books, including The King James Only Controversy (1995), The Forgotten Trinity (1998), and The God Who Justifies (2001), critiquing fundamentalist views and defending Reformed doctrine. Married to Kelli since 1982, he has two children, Joshua and Summer, and five grandchildren, living in Phoenix. White said, “The Bible’s truth stands firm, demanding we defend it with clarity.”
