About the Author:
In 1943, James Davison Philips was ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA and shipped out almost immediately as a naval chaplain in World War II. During the war years, he was greatly encouraged by letters he received from the president of his alma mater, James McDowell Richards. After leaving the navy, Philips served as assistant pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, Georgia. He was named pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Thomasville, Georgia in 1950, and in 1954, accepted the pastorate of Decatur Presbyterian Church, Decatur, Georgia, where he served for more than twenty years.
During that time, Philips served on the Board of Directors for Columbia Theological Society, working with President James McDowell Richards and his successor. He has also served as Moderator of the Atlanta Presbytery and the Synod of the Southeast, and on a variety of their boards and committees.
In 1975, Philips himself was appointed president of Columbia Theological Seminary. He retired in 1986 and has since served as president emeritus. Philips holds degrees from Hampden Sydney College and Columbia Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He is also the recipient of two honorary doctor of divinity degrees.
He and his wife Katherine Wright Philips live in Decatur, Georgia.
