Joining the HET-PRO team

Some professional changes are in the works. At the end of July 2017, my contract with VBG will end. Since 2012 I have been involved in the Bible groups here in Fribourg, with GBU and VBG. It has been a pleasure and a challenge to juggle work between the French and German-speaking groups. But that is life at the University of Fribourg, the only bilingual university in Switzerland.

Another change. After several years of teaching NT and exegesis at the Institut biblique et missionnaire Emmaüs (IBME), I will join the new school HET-PRO in St-Légier and the first teaching team ever of this new adventure. If you'd like to read my "portrait" in French, go to this page on the HET-PRO website. There you can also discover how this school builds on IBME's heritage but also extends it in innovative ways.

What doesn't change: my position as lecturer at the University of Fribourg. Here I also enjoy being a part of a team focusing on the connections between ancient historiography and Luke-Acts. I'm looking forward to an exciting conference that we are organizing on this subject right here in Fribourg (14-15 Sept. 2017).

So, although I'll miss working with the Bible groups in Fribourg, I'm looking forward to concentrating my energy on teaching and research on various subjects in the field of New Testament studies.
