Douglas James Wilson (born June 18, 1953) is a conservative Reformed and evangelical theologian, pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, faculty member at New Saint Andrews College, and author and speaker.

He is also featured in the documentary film Collision documenting his debates with anti-theist Christopher Hitchens on their promotional tour for the book Is Christianity Good for the World?.

[2] Upon high school graduation Wilson enlisted into the submarine service, after which he attended the University of Idaho, where he met his wife, Nancy, whom he married in 1975.

Wilson co-founded the Reformed cultural and theological journal Credenda/Agenda, is a founding board member of Logos School, a Senior Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College, serves as an instructor at Greyfriars Hall, a ministerial training program at Christ Church, and helped to establish the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches.

[9] Wilson received the inaugural Boniface Award from the ACCS in 2019, given to recognize "a public figure who has stood faithfully for Christian truth, beauty, and goodness with grace.

He has spoken and written in defense of the view, participating in a dialogue about eschatology with other evangelical ministers, John Piper, Sam Storms, and Jim Hamilton as the representative of the postmillennial position.

[15][16] Wilson's most controversial work is considered to be his pamphlet Southern Slavery, As It Was, which he co-wrote with Christian minister J. Steven Wilkins.

He has said his "long war" is not on behalf of white supremacy; rather, Wilson claims to seek restoration of a prior era, during which he says faith and reason seemed at one and when family, church, and community were more powerful than the state.

[24] Robert McKenzie, the history professor who first noticed the citation problems, described the authors as being "sloppy" rather than "malevolent" while also pointing out that he had reached out to Wilson several years earlier.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "He described the lifted passages as simply reflecting a citation problem, and attributed the latest uproar to "some of our local Banshees [who] have got wind of all this and raised the cry of plagiarism (between intermittent sobs of outrage).

""[25] Wilson reworked and redacted the arguments and published (without Wilkins) a new set of essays under the name Black & Tan[26] after consulting with historian Eugene Genovese.

[27] Concerns about Wilson's personal safety due to his comments on slavery, and criticism from liberals and conservatives, led to the Visão Nacional para a Consciência Cristã rescinding his invitation to speak at a large Reformed theological gathering in Brazil in February 2024.
