Autorenporträt
V. Norskov Olsen was born into a devout Lutheran home in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, he was soon the youngest Seventh-day Adventist minister in Europe. After World War II, Norskov earned his bachelor of divinity degree from Andrews University where he married Anita Lippi, a pianist at the Chicago Music Conservatory. He later taught at his Danish alma mater and Newbold College; received his PhD from the University of London; and earned a second PhD from the University of Basel in Bern, Switzerland, where he studied with well-known theologians Karl Barth and Oscar Cullman. He taught in Loma Linda University's religion department, became dean of the college and provost of the La Sierra campus; and in 1974 was elected president of Loma Linda University.
