About J. F. Alexander

Jim F. Alexander is a theophilic scribbler: an author of little note who writes about theology, spirituality, and society. In 2021, Wipf & Stock Publishers released his first book, the stand-alone spiritual adventure novel I Am Sophia. He is now writing a nonfiction book.

Jim earned a bachelor's degree at Austin College, a master's degree at Tufts University's Fletcher School, and a juris doctorate at Stanford University. He also was a Fulbright fellow at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich and a Newbigin fellow at the Center for Church Innovation, an affiliate of the Graduate Theological Union. A lay Episcopalian, Jim was appointed Writer-in-Residence (in 2018) and Theologian-in-Residence (in 2022) at Trinity Cathedral in San Jose, California. His spiritual and theological "roots" are firmly embedded in historic Anglican catholic Christianity, while his "wings" touch modern scientific cosmology, feminist theology, and insights from Eastern and Western philosophical traditions.

He is also a licensed attorney who has clerked in a federal court and practiced law at multinational law firms and a major financial technology company. Early in his career, he worked at NASA as an international negotiator facilitating the construction and operation of the International Space Station. 

Jim lives in northern California with his wife, teenage son, and Australian Shepherd. He is a grateful survivor of early-stage colon cancer.
