The Bible in Jerusalem : An International Conference of Young Dominican Exegetes

Between the 3rd and the 5th of January, a dozen of young Dominican biblical scholars joined their effort to think of the future of Biblical Studies within the Order of Preachers.
For their « workshop », they used the technology of The Bible in Its Traditions… May some of them eventually launch new teams on the books which they study !

Here is their rich programme :
