After Israel, let’s go to Jordan, with another group of students and my colleague Regine Hunziker-Rodewald who prepared a great program from July 12-23, 2010.

Among the many archaeological sites that we will visit are: Amman, Madaba, Dhiban, Petra, Busayra, Deir-Alla, Jerash… The adventure continues!

I’m taking a group of students on a tour (July 1-11, 2010) to study the topography and archaeology of the Holy Land.

Our program: Jerusalem, the Negev, Arad, the Dead Sea, Masada, Ein-Gedi, Qumran, Jericho, the Jordan River, Beth-Shean / Scythopolis, Tiberias, Capernaum, the Galilee, Caesarea… Enjoy the trip!

For the first time in its history, the National Library of France will host an exhibition on the Dead Sea Scrolls! This unprecedented event will take place on April 13 – July 11, 2010, and has been entitled Qumran: Uncovering the Dead Sea Scrolls. Hang on!

The National Library asked me to serve as their Scientific Advisor for this exhibition, which I accepted with great pleasure. Moreover, I will share with Laurent Héricher (oriental manuscripts curator) the Direction of Publication related to this exhibition. More on that later…

Please visit the National Library’s website for more information (such as opening hours, price, access…).

The “Bible, Heritage of Mankind” exhibition will be inaugurated at UNESCO on February 8-12, 2010!

I had the pleasure to help with this project as a specialist of the Bible and the Biblical World.

To find out more about the inauguration program (including an artistic gala!), please visit the exhibition website.
