Jerusalem, the holy city of three faiths, has been the focus of
competing historical, religious, and political narratives from
Biblical chronicles to today's headlines. With an aura that
transcends the boundaries of time and place, the city itself
embodies different levels of reality - indeed, different realities
altogether - for both observers and inhabitants. There is the real
Jerusalem, a place of ancient streets and monuments, temples and
coffee-houses, religious discourse and political argument. But
there is also the imaginary and utopian city that exists in the
minds of believers, political strategists, and artists. The study
of this multifaceted city poses complex questions that range over
several fields of inquiry. The multidisciplinary studies in
Jerusalem offer insights into this complexity. Chapters by leading
scholars examine the significant issues that relate to the
perception, representation, and status of the city at the
historical, religious, social, artistic, and political levels.
Together they provide an essential resource for anyone interested
in the paradoxes that Jerusalem offers.
