‘“A History of Jerusalem” should be read, not only by travellers and potential travellers in Jerusalem, but by all of us.’ Stephen Tummin, Daily Telegraph Jerusalem has probably cast more of a spell over the human imagination than any other city in the world. Held by believers to contain the site where Abraham offered up Isaac, the place of the crucifixion of Christ and the rock from which the prophet Muhammed ascended to heaven, Jerusalem has been celebrated and revered for centuries by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Such is the symbolic power of this ancient city that its future status poses a major obstacle to a comprehensive regional peace in the Middle East. In this comprehensive and elegantly written work, Karen Armstrong traces the turbulent history of the city from the prehistoric era to the present day. Karen Armstrong, the Sunday Times bestselling author, presents a comprehensive exploration of Jerusalem's religious history. Her focus on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam makes this bestselling book a top choice for readers interested in religious studies. For fans of Tom Holland (Athelstan), Iain Mcgilchrist (The Master and His Emissary), Rashid Khalidi (The Hundred Years' War on Palestine), Bart D. Ehrman (The Triumph of Christianity), and Francesca Stavrakopoulou (God).
