Opening
Founded in 1890 at the initiative of some religious friars of the St Stephen’s convent led by Father Marie-Joseph Lagrange, the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem (EBAF) brought together brothers who strive to serve the Bible and Church taking the whole reason and faith, intellectual and spiritual life. It now enjoys the support of students, researchers and teachers from all around the world, and diverse spiritual backgrounds.
The main projects of the School are today:
* Archaeology: Jordan (Samra) and Gaza and, hopefully, one day in parts of the Byzantine convent
* Bible: with the great project of the “Bible in its Traditions” (BEST)
* Research: with the library and online catalog
* University: seminars, publications, various teachings
Here is now, in Flash format, a virtual tour of the École :
