A journalist from “The Republic of the Center” regional newspaper attended my conference in Orleans last Sunday, with an audience of 300.

He wrote a paper in the February 7, 2012 issue, mentioning a new archaeological discovery whose importance I highlighted during the conference:

On the occasion of my second conference in Orleans, I was interviewed by “Republic of the Center” regional newspaper, which already published a report on my first conference.

This new paper appeared in the Saturday, February 4, 2012 issue, the day before my second conference:

The course of Old Testament Textual Criticism that I teach at the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris starts tomorrow!

This discipline consists in the comparison and evaluation of biblical manuscripts in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Latin, Syriac, and so on. In what way do they differ? Can we retrieve the original biblical text? Answer: tomorrow at 4 PM!

Due to the success of the “Bible Facing Archaeology” conference in Orleans, a new conference is in order. The large hall will welcome both those who could not come in the first time, and those who want to continue the adventure!

Sunday, February 5, 2012 at 6 PM

at Joan of Arc Church (Bd Riobé, Orleans)

I will speak about the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th century: Qumran. What do these mysterious scrolls contain? Who wrote them? Why weren’t they immediately available to the public? What do they reveal on the birth of the Bible and Christianity?

A good amount of time will be left for questions in the audience.
