This is the first truly historical atlas devoted specifically to the ancient and modern site of Jerusalem. Bahat, the official archaeologist for the city of Jerusalem, has written a scholarly introduction to this reference source, which covers over 3000 years of the geography, archaeology, architecture, history, and biblical study of the city. The detailed, informative text is based on recent findings and is well presented, with over 400 color maps, drawings, and illustrations. Highly recommended for larger public and academic libraries as well as for the biblical student or Middle East scholar.

"Lavishly illustrated with more than 400 color illustrations, the Atlas looks at the history of Jerusalem with maps, drawings, and isometric reconstructions, all updated with the latest archaeological evidence. Jerusalem is perhaps the most interesting city on earth. Sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, it dates back to at least the third millenium BCE. David made it his capital; Solomon glorified it with his Temple; it fell to Babylonia in 586 BCE and was rebuilt by Ezra and Nehemiah; it was the city of the Maccabees and of the Herods, and the place where Jesus was tried and crucified. Titus razed its buildings and destroyed the Temple in 70 CE. After the revolt of Bar Kochba, the Romans made Jerusalem a pagan shrine. Jerusalem fell to the Crusaders in 1099; in 1187, Muslims, led by Saladin, captured the city and held it almost continuously until the British took control after World War I. The British Mandate ended in 1948 when the State of Israel was born. In 1967, Israel reunited the city. Special features in the Atlas include: concise, easy-to-read text; four-color illustrations, maps, drawings, and photos throughout; definitive and authoritative information; selected bibliography of further readings; thorough index; an up-to-date approach, based on the latest findings. For anyone interested in biblical archaeology; geography; Jewish studies, culture, and history; and the history and culture of the Middle East, (this) is certain to be an invaluable resource."
