ⓘ (12 December 1912 – 19 July 1990) was a Norwegian newspaper editor, author and politician for the Christian Democratic Party. He served as Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee from 1982 to 1990.[1]
He grew up at Børsa in Søndre Trondhjem county, Norway. He was the son of Julius Aarvik (1890–1961) and Louise Lie (1889–1973). After attending a folk high school in 1933, he was hired as a secretary in the Norwegian Lutheran Mission Society (Det norske lutherske Indremisjonsselskap). From 1940 to 1946 he was the mission secretary in Stavanger.[2][3][4]
He worked as a journalist in Trondheim for Dagsavisa from 1947 to 1950,[5] before advancing to be editor-in-chief of that local Christian newspaper. In 1955, he left to work full-time as editor-in-chief of Folkets Framtid. He subsequently moved to Grorud, where he sat on the congregational council (1962–1966).[3][6]
