Here’s my brief bio:
J. F. (Jim) Alexander is theologian-in-residence at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in San Jose, California, and a licensed attorney. He is the author of I Am Sophia, a theologically significant work of future fiction.
If you’d like to know more . . .
I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, the son of a disabled American veteran and a social worker. I’ve spent most of my adult life in northern California, though I also lived for some years on the East Coast and in Germany. My formal education is broad and deep, and I have worked in international affairs and as an attorney. My wife of twenty-one years, Elizabeth, is an accomplished Silicon Valley trial lawyer.
My first book, I Am Sophia, was published in 2021. This “visionary” novel straddles genres, combining a space-travel story with theological dialogues in an extended parable about Christianity’s future. I am presently writing a substantial nonfiction book which will set out a systematic Christian theology based on an unconventional set of ontological categories. Integrating insights from modern science and Eastern philosophy, this book will sketch a unique and timely vision of the very shape of reality.
When I’m not writing, you might find me leading the weekly Theological Expeditions seminar at Trinity Cathedral or providing pro bono legal counsel to LunARC, a global nonprofit which plans to land a permanent repository of art on the lunar surface this year. Elizabeth and I have an eighteen-year-old son who is a history buff and an all-around amazing kid (uh, young person) and who helps look after the world’s prettiest and sweetest dog, our blue-eyed, tricolor Australian Shepherd.
