A group of students from School of Theology have traveled to Irael to participate in the academic plan 'Archaeology in the Holy Land', coordinated by the University professor, Diego Pérez Gondar.

The trip is part of an optional postgraduate subject and is an Innovation project professor from School of Theology. It is intended as a continuation of the subject Biblical World, where biblical geography, history and archaeology are studied.

Seventeen students and four professors from four Spanish universities: Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Universidad Loyola de Granada, Universidad San Isidoro de Sevilla and Universidad de Navarra participated in the activity, which this year reaches its third edition.

Over the course of thirteen days they completed a program of visits to Israel's major archaeological parks, museums and specialized academic institutions. In total they visited 25 parks, five museums and two academic institutions specializing in biblical scienceL'Ecole Biblique and the Studium Biblicum, both in Jerusalem.

As Professor Pérez Gondar pointed out, "this project is a special experience professor because it puts in direct relation several Schools. Although the pace has been hectic, the experience has been wonderful and very positive". He also emphasized that, during the trip, each teacher contributed his or her point of view in an academic dialogue in situ: "Explaining history while contemplating the landscape and the preserved remains is a real privilege. We have been able to travel through the Old and New Testament in the places where the events that are the basis of our identity took place".
