Dr. Charles Aling, a Professor of History at Northwestern College for the past seventeen years, earned his Ph.D. in Ancient History and Egyptology from the University of Minnesota. In addition to his tenure in the classroom, Dr. Aling has been Assistant Field Director on two archaeological expeditions to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. He is the author of Egypt and Bible History: From Earliest Times to 1000 BC, a book in which he critically argues that archaeology supports the biblical dating of historical events and that these dates are trustworthy, and has made notable contributions to the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society. He is a frequent lecturer and was this year's plenary speaker at the International Symposium on Archaeology where he argued in defense of the biblical account. (email).
