Title
Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths by Karen Armstrong-Hardcover 1st ed
"In every major religion, a 'holy place' has helped men and women define their own place, indeed their own importance, in the world. Karen Armstrong shows how Jerusalem has become that defining place for adherents of the three religions of Abraham. She makes us see that the city has not only been a symbol of God but also a deeply rooted part of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim identity.
She traces Jerusalem's physical history and spiritual meaning from its beginnings during the third millennium BC to its politically troubled and violent present. She explores the underlying currents that have played a part in Jerusalem's long and turbulent past, and she considers its archaeology and ever-changing topography as well.
"Throughout, Armstrong helps us understand the profound mythic sources of Jerusalem's holiness, its continuing power to arouse passions, and why the primal ideal of sacred space is once again a vital issue in Middle Eastern politics."--BOOK JACKET.
