The Near East School
of Theology (NEST) is an interdenominational Protestant theological
seminary serving the Evangelical churches of the Middle East and
African churches and is once again able to accommodate international
students who have a special interest in Biblical and Islamic studies
in a Middle Eastern context or those especially interested in the
Ancient churches. |

History: |
The NEST was
formed in 1932 by the merger of the School for Religious Workers
in Beirut and the School of Religion in Athens, Greece. It was built
on a history of evangelical theological education going back to
1835. In 1971 the School was moved to its new home: a modern, well-equipped
building two blocks south of the American University in Ras Beirut.
