In 1890, a group of French Dominicans founded the École Biblique et Archéologique Française de Jérusalem, a research center dedicated to the study of the Bible and the Holy Land. For over a century, the École Biblique has been a leading center for biblical scholarship and archaeological research, and its work has helped to shed light on the history and culture of the region.

From Petra to the École Biblique tells the story of the École Biblique and its work in the Holy Land. The book is written by André Paul and Michelle Favreau-L'Hostis, two of the École Biblique's leading scholars. Paul is a professor of biblical studies, and Favreau-L'Hostis is a professor of archaeology. Together, they have written a comprehensive and engaging account of the École Biblique's history, its research, and its impact on the study of the Bible and the Holy Land.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part tells the story of the École Biblique's founding and early years. The second part discusses the École Biblique's research in the Holy Land, including its work at archaeological sites such as Petra, Jericho, and Jerusalem. The third part examines the École Biblique's impact on the study of the Bible and the Holy Land, and its role in the development of modern biblical scholarship.

From Petra to the École Biblique is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Bible, the Holy Land, or biblical archaeology. The book is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the work of the École Biblique and its impact on the study of the Bible and the Holy Land.

The Founding and Early Years of the École Biblique

The École Biblique was founded in 1890 by a group of French Dominicans. The Dominicans had been active in the Holy Land for centuries, and they had a long history of scholarship and research. The École Biblique was founded as a center for biblical studies and archaeological research, and it quickly became a leading center for the study of the Bible and the Holy Land.

The École Biblique's early years were marked by a number of important developments. In 1892, the École Biblique acquired its first permanent home in Jerusalem. In 1893, the École Biblique began publishing its own journal, the Revue Biblique. And in 1895, the École Biblique opened its first archaeological excavation, at the site of Jericho.

The École Biblique's early years were also marked by a number of challenges. The École Biblique was founded at a time of great political and religious turmoil in the Holy Land. The Ottoman Empire was in decline, and the region was being contested by a number of different powers. The École Biblique was also facing financial difficulties, and it was often difficult to attract and retain scholars.

The École Biblique's Research in the Holy Land

Despite the challenges it faced, the École Biblique continued to grow and develop in the early 20th century. The École Biblique's research in the Holy Land covered a wide range of topics, including biblical geography, archaeology, and epigraphy. The École Biblique's scholars also conducted a number of important excavations, including the excavations at Petra, Jericho, and Jerusalem.

The École Biblique's excavations at Petra were particularly important. Petra is a Nabatean city located in southern Jordan. The Nabateans were a nomadic people who settled in Petra in the 4th century BC. Petra was a major trading center, and it was also a center of Nabatean culture and religion. The École Biblique's excavations at Petra have helped to shed light on the history and culture of the Nabateans.

The École Biblique's excavations at Jericho were also important. Jericho is one of the oldest cities in the world. The École Biblique's excavations at Jericho have helped to shed light on the history of Jericho and the development of urban life in the Holy Land.

The École Biblique's excavations at Jerusalem were also important. Jerusalem is the holiest city in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions. The École Biblique's excavations at Jerusalem have helped to shed light on the history of Jerusalem and the development of religious life in the Holy Land.

The École Biblique's Impact on the Study of the Bible and the Holy Land

The École Biblique has had a profound impact on the study of the Bible and the Holy Land. The École Biblique's research has helped to shed light on the history, culture, and religion of the Holy Land. The École Biblique's scholars have also played a major role in the development of modern biblical scholarship.

The École Biblique continues to be a leading center for biblical research and archaeology. The École Biblique's scholars are conducting important research on a wide range of topics, including the history of the Bible, the archaeology of the Holy Land, and the development of religious life in the Holy Land. The École Biblique's work is helping to shape our understanding of the Bible and the Holy Land, and it is continuing to make a major contribution to the study of the Bible and the Holy Land.
