Who Was the Pharaoh of the Exodus?
Mid-America Journal
Mid-America is an academic institution that values research, scholarship, and making contributions to the evangelical body of work. The Journal of Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary (Mid-America Journal) is published each Spring and provides scholarly research and articles around a specific theme.
Part II of a series that began in 2024, the 2025 edition of the Mid-America Journal is devoted to addressing the intriguing question that has faced biblical scholars for centuries, “Who Was the Pharaoh of the Exodus?” The issue compiles research papers presented at a historic conference in which many of the world’s foremost authorities presented their insightful and scholarly findings. The work explains the contributions of archaeology and how these insights bolster the case for biblical inerrancy.
