We really wanted to be shipping the new edition of The Potter’s Freedom this week, but found out today that the distributor had put a hold on our order without the kindness of informing us of the matter. Rich let them know in no uncertain terms that they needed to get those books to us asap, and so we have

I just received word that Ehrman’s new book, Jesus, Interrupted, has shipped. Though I can pretty much tell from the advertising what it will contain, keep an eye out for a quick review later this week. Be listening to your local NPR outlet for the free advertising of Ehrman’s work soon! Watch your TV as well! This is the kind

Micah and Carla have cooked up a second version of the Second Century Witnesses graphic, showing the papyri that can be dated to the 2nd century AD. You can pick which one you like best, and compare them here. I have linked to the new graphic and how it looks on a black t-shirt as well. I think these shirts

   This morning I was on David Wheaton’s Christian Worldview program discussing the Ehrman debate and related issues. I sounded like Barry White instead of James White, but hopefully it was helpful.    I just finished the galley proofs of the 2nd edition of The King James Only Controversy. That means we should be seeing the new editions of both that book

As I mentioned on the DL last week, I see a strong need for me to press forward with the studies I did in preparation for the debate in the production of a book. I covered a much wider range of topics in my preparation than came up in the debate, including Synoptic issues, inspiration issues, allegations of contradiction, etc.

We will be doing a live DL from the Florida Keys today at 10:30am MST, 12:30pm EST. I will be playing clips from the Ehrman debate and taking your calls (Lord willing!).   

Just a quick note to thank everyone for your prayers for the debate tonight. Everything went smoothly as far as the debate is concerned. I think we have a great recording, etc. I think those in attendance were a little surprised at Dr. Ehrman’s treatment of me, but I wasn’t overly surprised. He did not prepare for the debate, had

My quote on this shirt is hardly unique. But it sure is becoming more rare. In any case, here is the link. I apologize for the quiet blog, but most of you know why. I will see if it is possible to drop a note after the debate this evening just to give you a quick summary, but I have

We Skyped the DL today, as I am in Florida. Rattled around a bit for the first 15 minutes, then got into playing part of the Unbelievable radio discussion between Peter Williams and Bart Ehrman, took a call on the same topic as well. We intend to attempt to do a DL sometime Friday, but I will be at sea,

I know lots of folks would like to make the debate in Florida but just can’t get away. #10 There is one young man who has been a great asset to me in preparation for this debate. He knows the textual critical field very well, and is one of my Team Apologian bloggers. But being your standard seminary student, he

I understand we are within $200 of the audio/video machine, for which I am very grateful. I just added two very high priority items to my ministry resource wishlist, comprising Origen’s commentaries on John. I need to check some textual references in preparation for the Ehrman debate, but, if I don’t have them, I’ll survive. Just like to track down

I noticed today that my good friend Tom Ascol wants a motorcycle. But, his dear wife said lightning would have to strike first. Well, that’s one obstacle down anyway. I’ve been riding since I was 19 (do the math: that means I have safely ridden with no accidents or tickets for about 27 years). My last two rides I purchased

   Yes, the economy has nosed over into recession, and everyone is tightening their belts, so to speak. But as a result, the travel industry is hurting big-time, too. So, what does that mean for you? How about an incredible opportunity to come with us on the four day cruise in January? How does $150 a person sound? I’m being perfectly

First, once again, my sincerest thanks to all of you who have gifted me research resources through my Amazon wishlist. I am truly grateful. If you’d like to help me reach another goal, it’s pretty easy. I began using YouTube as a major outreach vehicle early last January. As of this very moment, my videos have 980,793 views, just under

   I have suggested some items for your holiday season in various posts over the past few weeks, but I thought I’d concentrate them in one spot. First, I am tremendously pleased at the response to our beginning to carry new books in our bookstore. I really think these books will be of tremendous benefit to anyone who obtains them. Four

For those who missed the Dividing Line from last (12/4/08) Thursday, Dr. White continued his review of the recent SBC John:316 conference and examined Dr. Steven Lemke’s remarks specifically. Dr. White then took a call from Rich in Las Vegas regarding the problems with the John 3:16 conference and Macintosh ownership.

Yep, the infallible Church alright. (I know, I know, “Oh, those are just local bishops!”).

Take my word for it, you just gotta have Mylo’s Christmas CD in your Christmas music collection! How anyone can get along without such classics as “Heifer Bells” or “Winter in Nordakota,” I can’t imagine. And if you haven’t hummed along to “Checkout Gals,” you haven’t lived! So hustle on over to Mylo’s website and get your copy of A

If you lay very quietly…very still…and listen intently, with this Lockman NASB not too far away…you will be able to hear it…moo. Yes indeed, the Uber Bible, the single best leather bound Bible I have ever owned, is back in stock! Rich just got it back in the bookstore today, here. This is a preacher’s Bible. It lays open. It

Today I did a DL from Durham, North Carolina. I played a section from the Shabir Ally debate on Monday and discussed the upcoming ministry here in North Carolina.

Too late to do much more than post this picture of the debate at Trinity Road Chapel in London. The debate this evening was with Sami Zaatari. Mr. Zaatari was…vintage Sami, claiming victory before I even spoke, often talking about how I “failed” to do this or how he “refuted” me there, without providing any substantive scholarship. That aspect of

I mentioned last week another valuable resource for the serious apologist that we would be making available through Alpha and Omega Ministries. Well, here it is, Comfort’s new textual commentary on the New Testament. Sure, we have the Metzger commentary, but that is limited to the variants chosen for inclusion in the UBS text, and there are many other important

Sorry! I got my signals crossed with the homefront. I won’t be able to do the DL today. My schedule (seven hours advanced from Phoenix) and Rich’s don’t mesh. Maybe Friday. We’ll try.

James White the Pinhead    I was pointed to this great article by Frank Luciani about me. I’m a pinhead, and a used car salesman, all rolled into one. Of course, anyone who actually listens to what I say, or accurately reads me, will have a hard time taking Mr. Luciani seriously, but…it is illustrative of how deeply tradition can impact

KUWAIT CITY : Kuwait Human Rights Society (KHRS) Chairman Dr Adel Al-Damkhi has asked the government to put pressure on the officials of ‘YouTube’ — a video sharing website — to delete all derogatory statements about Islam and Muslims from the site, reports Al-Seyassah. Urging the authorities to take the necessary legal action in case the website fails to erase

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Alpha and Omega Ministries in October of 1983. We are not planning anything spectacular…just keeping our nose to the grindstone and preparing for London, Duke, and Bart Ehrman—the things we need to be doing. We are not big on blowing our own horn, but that doesn’t mean we do not

I noticed him sitting off to my left. A photographer with a big camera and a big lens. I really did not give it much thought, though, it was a bit unusual. I was focused on other things, so by the time I got to my hotel that night, I had pretty much forgotten about it. Until he contacted me

Today I started off with Osama Abdullah’s allegation that Jesus “ran” from His own creation when He fled to Egypt. Of course, He was an infant in His mother’s arms at the time, but hey, let’s not let reality get in the way of a good argument! Then we took a call on the role of presuppositions in the study

You know how Amazon has a “wish list”? I wish Solid Ground had a “wish list,” because this volume would be right up at the top of mine. With such swill as The Shack being promoted by non-discerning “evangelicals” today, oh how wonderful it would be if Bunyan’s work had a re-birth amongst those so desperate for sound reading and
