In 'History of Jerusalem', Karen Armstrong presents a profound vision of Jerusalem not only as a religious symbol, but also as an essential component of Jewish, Christian and Islamic identity. The book explores the physical history and spiritual significance of the city from its origins to its politically turbulent present, examining the underlying currents that have shaped its past and analyzing its constantly evolving archeology and topography. Armstrong, a recognized expert in religious issues, offers a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on this key city in the history of humanity.
