Biographie de Jarno Moilanen
I am a Finnish man from Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland (and the official hometown of Santa Claus). I was born in 1987 to a family that belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. I became interested in God when I was a primary school pupil, but it was not until I was at junior high school that I really understood the grace of God in Jesus Christ. When I was a high school student I became very interested in the origin issues and began to study diligently the creation-evolution debate.
I understood fast that the first chapters of Genesis must be taken as actual history, and I have been a young-earth creationist Bible-believing Christian ever since. After high school I went to a Bible school for three months. There I decided to go to study theology at a university. In 2015 I graduated with a Master of Theology from the University of Eastern Finland, majoring in Biblical Studies (especially the Old Testament).
The subject of my thesis was the origin of the Book of Ecclesiastes. For many years now, however, my greatest interest has been the history and archaeology of the ancient Near East. Through my scholarly studies I want to strengthen the faith of my brothers and sisters in Christ and to show all the people of the world that the whole Bible can be trusted historically.
