Description and Table of Contents
Description
Jerusalem's history from biblical times to the late 1990s, under Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious rule is described in this text. It examines Jerusalem's significance as a goal of pilgrimage, the sacred centre of the world and as a symbol of eschatological fullness. The goal of the book is to search out the commonalities and differences of the three faiths for the purpose of mutual understanding and coexistence.
