James B. De Young

What do the features of an instructor of Greek in a grad school holding a Th.D., an ordained minister, a gentleman farmer, a direct descendant of Douwe Egberts of Holland, the mayor of a city in Oregon, an author of various books, a husband for 54 years, a grandfather of 12, and a grader of roads for 30+ years all point to? To James B. De Young. Presently he is senior professor at Western Seminary in Portland, Or., and Mayor of Damascus, Or. In all his writings he seeks to empower people with the truth so that they might discern truth from error and become teachers of others.
