An expansive history of Jerusalem as a cultural crossroads, and a
fresh look at the urban development of one of the world's most
mythologized cities. Jerusalem is often seen as an eternal
battlefield in the "clash of civilizations" and in endless,
inevitable wars of religion. But if we abandon this limiting image
when reviewing the entirety of its concrete urban history-from its
beginnings to today-we discover a global city at the world's
crossroads. Jerusalem is the common cradle of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, whose long and intertwined pasts include
as much exchange and reciprocal influence as conflict and
confrontation. This synthetic account is the first to make
available to the general public Jerusalem's whole history, informed
by the latest archaeological finds, unexplored archives, and
ongoing research and offering a completely renewed understanding of
the city's past and geography. This book is an indispensable guide
to understanding why the world converges on Jerusalem.
