emeritierter Professor für Altes Testament und altorientalische Geschichte und Archäologie des Nahen Ostens, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

„Als ich im ländlichen Ägypten aufwuchs, entwickelte ich eine Liebe zu den Menschen, der Geschichte und Kultur, so dass Ägyptologie und Archäologie meine natürlichen akademische Studien wurden. Auf dieser Tour werden wir zusammen mit Alexander Schick antike und moderne Wunder besuchen und biblische Geschichte einbeziehen, mit dem Ziel, Verbindungen zwischen ägyptischer Geschichte und Kultur und der Bibel aufzuzeigen und herzustellen.“
