MONTHLY MEETING: October 19, 2024
Old Testament Archaeology: Synchronizing the Biblical and Egyptian History
Chris Ashcraft
The Old Testament of the Bible contains rich and interesting stories of God's people that span more than 4000 years. However, this important historic record is under attack by Archaeologists who have claimed that the Biblical account of history is inaccurate or even fictitious. Events, such as the conquest of Jericho and the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, have been challenged on archaeological grounds.
Chris Ashcraft examines these challenges and shows that when the evidence is revealed, science supports the historicity of the Bible. We will review several well-known Biblical events and figures that can now be substantiated by recent archaeological investigations, and see that the Bible is trustworthy in all things.
Chris Ashcraft is a Christian educator employed as high school science teacher at Cedar Park Christian Schools and Adjunct Professor at NW University. Formerly, Chris was a biology research technician specialized in plant tissue culture and genetic transformation technology. He was employed at the Cotton Fiber Production Laboratory at Texas Tech University and the Plant Transformation Facility at Oklahoma State University, and lastly was the Plant Transformation Specialist for EDEN Bioscience in Bothell Washington.
Chris obtained a Bachelor of Science in biology from Wayland Baptist University in 1989, a Master of Science in biology from Texas Tech University in 1996, a Master of Education from the University of Washington in 2008, and a Master in Teaching Math and Science from Seattle Pacific University in 2012.
We meet the third Saturday of each month from 9:00 am to 11:30 am at:
Greater Portland Bible Church
2374 SW Vermont Street
Portland, OR 97219
