Reflections on Recent Temple Outreach & Debate: Free Agency, Richard Hopkins, Salt Lake City, Utah, 3/30/2001
James White, , Debate, Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing LineDr. White explains how his debate with Richard Hopkins started late, with an opponent that did not understand Reformed Theology or the use of a Greek lexicon very well.

Joel Osteen and Why Theology Matters, Again
James White, , MormonismFor the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain, but hospitable, loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and

James White, , MormonismIf you do not know the name Hugh Nibley, you are not familiar with Mormonism and Mormon apologetics.
