[[File:Edwin_Thiele.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Public Domain<ref>The following is from an e-mail addressed to me (“Latent”) on May 20, 2009, from Patricia Spangler of Andrews University. I had asked if they had a photograph of Edwin Thiele; in spite of all the publications about him or mentioning him, there was hardly anything available. I also asked if they could declare it to be in the Public Domain. They answered both requests, as shown in the e-mail. They are the proper owners of the photograph. Here is Ms. Spangler’s response:<br><br>
You’ve probably given up on this request many moons ago! I’m finally cleaning out my Inbox and noticed that I didn’t respond immediately when I received your message and it was buried (way buried). Please accept my apologies.
<br><br>
I’ve spoken with our campus historian and she says it should be fine for you to use the photos we provided for the purposes you need. You may consider those photos to be public domain images.
<br><br>
If you need any further assistance please contact me and I promise to be much faster in responding.
<br><br>
Sincerely,
Pat<br><br>

Edwin R. Thiele was a missionary, church periodical editor, educator, and Biblical chronologist. He is best known for his influential book on the chronology of the Hebrew kingdom period, ''The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings''. Thiele's approach to chronology was based on his putting first priority on determining the historical methods and conventions of the ancient authors who gave us the texts of the Old Testament historical books. Coupled with this was his belief that these texts should be considered as primary and authentic historical records unless clear evidence pointed to the contrary. Thiele's resultant chronology has won a place in the scholarly world that has never been achieved by writers who regard the Scriptural historical texts as uninspired and prone to error.
