Synopsis

Jerusalem is more than a tourist site—every square mile is layered with historical significance, religious intensity, and extraordinary stories shaped by religion, war, and monumentality. Goldhill takes on this archaeology of human imagination, hope, and disaster to provide a tour through the history of this image-filled and ideology-laden city.
