Statements by James Trimm
In the back of his book, The Semitic Origin of the New Testament, he states he has a ST.D in Semitic Studies.
On the Jewishness of the Book of Mormon website, he stated, "The title 'Rabbi' is accurate as Yosef has a PhD in Rabbinical Studies" And we all know that James Trimm was Rabbi Yosef.
In his e-mail, Setting Some Things Straight he states, "My
doctorate is from St. John Chrysostom Theological Seminary" "I have letters
of recomendation for the degree of doctorate in Semitic
Studies from when I was awarded the degree of doctorate."
In his recent e-mail of 8-11-2000, he states, "I was conferred
with the S.T.D. degee (Sacrae Theologae Doctor)
by this seminary on June 7th 1995."
In the first e-mail to me, on 7-4-2000, he states, "I am
a scholar of theology." "Furthermore I am a part of the Religious-Crisis
Task Force, a group of Theology doctrorates who are available as consultants
should another "Waco" type crisis occur."
