I wish to once again thank everyone who over the past year has used the Ministry Resource List to bless this work. Few things have been as encouraging as that list. Two brothers even sought out my personal list, which again makes me realize how our work has reached to folks we could never imagine blessing. In any case, I

As I’ve been traveling about I’ve been asked a number of times, “Where do I get your ties?” I’ve designed a few ties, some based upon ancient manuscripts, some from my fractal art, that I’ve worn in some of my debates, etc. I’ve posted this before, but we have a lot of new folks, so, here is the link to

And time to remember all the hard work Carla Rolfe has done in putting together “A&O Gear” for us. Below is a banner with just some of what she’s done, which you can follow to her store. Share the message this season with some of Carla’s great designs.

What I am suggesting in Return to Rome is that the Nicean orthodoxy offered by the Puritan divines was only possible because they had the benefit of a Spirit-directed Magisterium that had secured this orthodoxy as normative over 12 centuries prior to the Westminster Confession of Faith. (reference) Converts (or in this case, reverts) to Roman Catholicism tend to adopt

“Jesus in the Qur’an & the Bible”: A Live Muslim-Christian Dialogue Saturday, November 7th, 7pm United Presbyterian Church 62-54 60th Place Ridgewood, Queens, NY www.UPCRidgewood.org Dr. James R. White is Director of Alpha & Omega Ministries, a Christian Apologetics organization based in Phoenix, AZ. He is the author of numerous books, a professor and an accomplished debater, having engaged in

Just a quick update for those of you who have donated towards the conference room project, we finished the ceiling today and here’s a pic of the progress. As you can see we have the lighting and the A/C in and working. Next step is carpeting and while that is going on we will starting hunting for the video mixing

Greetings from the Denver airport. OK, while I’ve been traveling today someone sent in a link to Dr. Caner’s debates. Well, sorta. Here’s the link. It is a total of eight “interviews.” One with “Mormons,” two with a female Christian scientist, two with a Bahai representative, two with Mel White (homosexual), and one with a representative of Eastern Orthodoxy. Is

Hacim, King of Graphics, improved my last post by adding a screen shot of the exact statement by Ergun Caner noted in my previous blog notes. Now, as I looked at it, I started reading the side bar, and I ran across this line: He has debated leaders in Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Bahai, Taoism, and many cult leaders in forty

I have been informed that some students think I am “lying” about Ergun Caner’s comment that I posted last night from Twitter. I’m not sure how you “lie” about someone when you quote their entire comment. Surely, a “tweet” has little context, but I think I know Caner’s context (here’s proof). But as I have read the argument (which, ironically,

   I will be on the Trinity Talk webcast today at 11pm CDT. You can listen here.

I have to privilege of sitting under Dr. Morton Smith this semester for Prolegomena & Theology. Instead of writing one long paper for the course, students are required to turn in a 3-5 page paper every other week, reading it before the class and fielding questions. The aim of the paper is to summarize the view(s) of a theologian of

Some of you who are new to Alpha and Omega Ministries might not know that a number of years ago I had the privilege of debating Barry Lynn, ACLU attorney and head of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. Lynn is an ordained minister in one of the most liberal denominations in the world. We debated whether

   Carla has put together a new graphic that I think a number of folks are going to like, and given how many people mention the Dividing Line when I travel, this might be one you want to get in sticker form so you can advertise around town, on your notebook at school, whatever. Carla tells me Katy came up with

I just got a note from Arthur over at Renaissance Art. They have begun making 1/4 custom leather covers, and since they just introduced them on their website, they are having a 20% off sale. I know many of you have purchased covers from Renaissance Art, and found them to be a great value—gorgeous leather, expert craftsmanship. Go here to

   Settling in now that I’ve arrived in Brisbane. Conference starts tomorrow, and I have some work to do between now and then, so I will have to make this brief.    Had a great day in Sydney yesterday. Hopefully when I get back I’ll be able to carve out some time before my next event to sit down and really thank

Just a quick note from Sydney via my BlackBerry. The debate was very well attended. A clear witness of the gospel was given. Thanks to all who prayed for this event. I’m currently loading the video from my little camera onto my Mac, and hope to post it on YouTube tomorrow evening (Tuesday morning US time). Still much work to

   I would generally never schedule an event the same day as a trans-Pacific flight, but this time around I was to speak on “Why Otherwise Sane People Say They Actually Know Jesus” at St. John’s Ashfield Anglican Church twelve hours after landing. Though I was feeling “OK,” those who have traveled large distances know how you often feel “just half

Dr. White’s itinerary has been tentatively set with the following events and dates. I hope to update this article with contact information in the coming days. Date Event Time Address Admission 8/16/09 Sermon: TBD 7PM – 9PM Christ Church Inner-West St. John’s Ashfield 81 Alt Street Ashfield FREE 8/17/09 Debate – A Guide to Humanity: The Qur’an or the New

No, I have no intentions of trying to find a boomerang to bring back, though my daughter has requested I bring her something “cool.” Unfortunately, her definition of cool, and mine, are…oh, about one generation apart. But I’ll give it a shot. In any case, I have my presentations put together, a pile of power adapters on my desk, and

I suppose the really positive thing about the 15 hours on a jet on the way to Sydney is…it will be an Airbus 380, the new jumboliner with two full decks on it. At least I’ll have someplace to walk! I wonder if you can do sprints up and down the stairs? In any case, I will be getting to

The second day of debate between Dr. James White and Harold Camping of Family Radio is now available. Today Mr. Camping didn’t even attempt to interact with Dr. White’s presentation, attempting instead to teach his unusual Biblical numerology to the listeners. Day two of the debate is now available here.

I have updated the Ministry Resource List with a few items. The first is Tim Staples’ series on heaven, hell and purgatory. I have been communicating with Mr. Staples, and though he says he would “love” to debate, for reasons he cannot elucidate, he just can’t. However, I pressed him on joining me on the DL for a discussion of

   I have another “folks who have a lot more time to edit things than I do” request. I have created a pdf of the entire Arabic Bible to put on my Palm (one of the best ways to work on vocabulary, etc., is exposure), but there is one problem: without an index or set of bookmarks, finding a text would

   No, no, I’m not watching the entire Star Wars series again on Spike this week (OK, well, I did see some of it, as there still is nothing as cool as Yoda with a light saber), I am talking about…can I get it out…Twitter. Yes, Twitter. No, I haven’t lost my mind. But I think I may have found a

I can’t guarantee much insight on my part, but, I am home, so, we will be doing the DL at the regular time in the morning. I had a fairly uneventful trip home, and am tremendously thankful to all the pastors and churches in New Jersey and Long Island that made the past ten days so special.

   I will be live in studio today with Chris Arnzen to discuss last night’s debate with Imam Shamsi Ali. I can call it a debate (it was always a debate to begin with) since that is what Imam Ali called it! In any case, lots of interesting things to go over. Click here to listen live at 3pm EDT. I

   I have an odd request to make of our readers. I would imagine there are some who follow this blog who know what I mean when I speak of using Unicode as the new standard for Greek fonts in typesetting. And I would imagine a few know that you can’t just switch over from older, proprietary fonts, to Unicode. It

Tomorrow I will be doing an initial test of the live streaming pc. I will be streaming my two presentations at the Compassionate Boldness Conference here in Salt Lake City. The first session will be at 9am MDT (11am EDT), and the second will be at 12:30pm MDT (2:30pm EDT). I will be feeding directly to our regular Dividing Line
