Resources - Jame White

I am going to start with James White of Alpha and Omega ministries. There is lots of material on the website itself and he produces one or two podcasts each week under the title “The Dividing Line”, there are also numerous youtube videos of debates and presentations that he has given.
Dr White is excellent in many areas, these include:

  • Reliability of the New Testament
  • Biblical teaching on homosexuality
  • Islam

He has several lectures and videos presenting the case for the reliability of the New Testament, and there are some debates on this as well. One of the talks can be found here.
The Bible and homosexuality and the laws that governments throughout the West are passing are a hot issue today. A little over ten years ago he co-wrote a book called The Same Sex Controversy. This is excellent and counters the arguments given by some that claim the Bible is ambiguous on same sex relationships. There are also various podcasts, one lasting five hours, on the matter, as well as periodic items on The Dividing Line.
Dr White recently published a book called What Every Christian Should Know about the Koran. This is another excellent book and well worth reading. He has done numerous debates with Muslim scholars. You will find reading the book and listening to the debates very illuminating.
Other issues that crop up fairly frequently are:

  • King James onlyism, Dr White shows what a load of rubbish King James onlyism is.
  • Roman Catholicism. He takes a very strong line against Catholic teaching.
  • Mormonism

Dr White is also an ardent Calvinist. Now I am fairly Calvinist (which some would say means I am definitely not a Calvinist), and I don’t agree with all that he says on this. In fact in some later posts I might look at some of these issues. However, I would heartily recommend listening to him, and to his sermons on SermonAudio.com. There is an awful lot to be learnt, and he will counter any loose interpretation of the Bible, and encourage you to think much more carefully  about things.
