Mark Janzen
Southern Adventist University announces Mark Janzen, PhD, associate professor at Lipscomb University and its Lanier Center for Biblical Archaeology in Nashville, will present “From Miracles to Mt. Sinai: Recent Research on the Route of the Exodus” on Monday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Lynn Wood Hall Chapel on campus.
Officials said, "As the most celebrated and referenced event in the Hebrew Bible, Israel’s famous departure from Egypt is one of history’s most famous narratives.
The drama of the so-called 'Red Sea Crossing,' the miracles along the way and the theophany at Mt. Sinai have captured the imagination of readers from all walks of life for millennia."
Dr. Janzen received his doctorate in history from the University of Memphis in Tennessee. He has worked in Egypt for more than 15 years, and his primary research interests are Egyptian epigraphy and archaeology, New Kingdom military history and the Israelite exodus. Editor of Five Views on the Exodus: Historicity, Chronology, and Theological Implications, Dr. Janzen has written articles and essays on a wide range of topics relating to the intersection of ancient history, archaeology and biblical studies. In addition to his teaching duties, he is co-host for the podcast OnScript3/4The Biblical World as well as deputy director of the Karnak Great Hypostyle Hall project in Luxor, Egypt.
