ECOLE BIBLIQUE AND FRENCH SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY IS THE CENTRE OF BIBLICAL STUDY AND ARCHAEOLOGY THAT PRODUCED THE JERUSALEM BIBLE AND EDITS THE REVUE BIBLIQUE. FOUNDED BY THE DOMINICAN MARIE-JOSEPH LAGRANGE IN 1890, THE ECOLE CONTINUES TO OFFER SCHOLARS OF THE BIBLE AND THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE HOLY LAND A UNIQUE VENUE TO STUDY, TEACH, AND PUBLISH. THERE ARE 20 DOMINICAN FRIARS ASSIGNED TO THE ECOLE AND APPROXIMATELY 40 POSTGRADUATES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD IN RESIDENCE. SITUATED IN EAST JERUSALEM, THE ECOLE STUDENTS AND STAFF WITNESS THE INTER-RELIGIOUS CONTEXT OF THE MODERN WORLD NOT AS A SUBJECT OF STUDY ONLY BUT AS A REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE. THIS SENSITIVITY TO DIFFERENT CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS CONTEXTS HAS INSPIRED THE COMMUNITY TO BEGIN A NEW BIBLE PROJECT CALLED BIBLE EN SES TRADITIONS, BEST. BEST WILL NOT BE YET ANOTHER CATHOLIC BIBLE, BUT ONE THAT CAN BE READ CATHOLICALLY, THAT IS WITH EQUAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO THE SCRIPTURAL TEXT AND THE TRADITION(S) OF RECEPTION, INCLUDING JEWISH, PROTESTANT, AND ORTHODOX READINGS. GRANTS WERE GIVEN TO THE ECOLE BIBLIQUE AND FRENCH SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN JERUSALEM.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$54.3KDominican Institute of Oriental Studies
