As director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, White also hosts a daily Dividing Line Podcast and radio show on the Alpha and Omega Ministries YouTube Channel. He was also a critical consultant for the Lockman Foundation‘s New American Standard Bible.[13][14]
White often engages in public debate, having participated in more than 170 public moderated debates,[15][16] covering topics such as Calvinism, Roman Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, Infant baptism[17] the King James Only movement, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and atheism. His debate opponents have included scholars such as Bart Ehrman, John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg, Robert M. Price, Joe Ventilacion of Iglesia ni Cristo[18] and popularizers such as Dan Barker, Jimmy Akin and John Shelby Spong.[19] James White has criticized fundamentalist views and King James Onlyism. He has argued that the King James version has multiple translation errors.[20][21][22][23]
White supports Creationism and Theonomy.[25] [26]
Theonomy (from Greek theos “God” and nomos “law”) is a hypothetical Christian form of government in which society is ruled by divine law.[1] Theonomists hold that divine law, particularly the judicial laws of the Old Testament, should be observed by modern societies.[2] The chief architects of the movement are Gary North, Greg Bahnsen, and R.J. Rushdoony.[3]
The precise definition of theonomy is the presumption that the Old Covenant judicial laws given to Israel have not been abrogated, and therefore all civil governments are morally obligated to enforce them (including the specific penalties). Theonomy holds that all civil governments must refrain from coercion if Scripture has not prescribed their intervention (the “regulative principle of the state”).[4][5][6]
Theonomy is distinct from the “theonomous ethics” proposed by Paul Tillich.[3]
After his conversion to the Catholic faith, Trent Horn earned master’s degrees in the fields of theology, philosophy, and bioethics. He serves as a staff apologist for Catholic Answers, where he specializes in teaching Catholics to graciously and persuasively engage those who disagree with them.
Trent models that approach each week on the radio program Catholic Answers Live and on his own podcast, The Counsel of Trent. He has also been invited to debate at UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, and Stanford University.
Trent is an adjunct professor of apologetics at Holy Apostles College, has written for The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly, and is the author of nine books, including Answering Atheism, The Case for Catholicism, and Why We’re Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love.
