- Summary:
- For followers of the three Abrahamic faiths, Jerusalem is the place where the presence of the God of Israel dwells -the meeting point of heaven and earth and the locus of divine and human interaction. 'Jerusalem through the Ages' explores how these beliefs came to be associated with the city by introducing readers to its complex and layered history, providing a broad yet detailed account, including the most recent archaeological discoveries. Each chapter focuses on a key moment of transition from Jerusalem's beginnings to the Crusades of the medieval period, enabling readers to experience the city's many transformations as it changed hands and populations-Jebusites, Israelites, Judahites, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The book also includes a walking guide for visitors who wish to experience the city's many archaeological sites firsthand.
