Jerusalem is not an ordinary city and Crossing Jerusalem is not a
standard telling of a city's story. While the author himself is
deeply skeptical of religion, this book is both a portrait of a
spiritual Jerusalem, and a recounting of the effect the city has on
the spirit of one visitor who discovers its ongoing distress -
through it he discovers some sort of spirituality in himself. At
the same time a travelogue, a questioning of spiritual values, and
an examination of the beliefs that have sustained Jerusalem's
populations through centuries of conflict and division, Crossing
Jerusalem offers an unusual and penetrating perspective of the
city. While many of the themes the author touches upon are
inevitably sensitive and controversial, Crossing Jerusalem is
intended to provoke thought rather than antipathy. At a time when
both Jewish attitudes and the West's foreign policy options on a
Middle East solution are evolving, Crossing Jerusalem is now
especially relevant.
