Description
Jerusalem today is a vibrant, flourishing capital city & the vital center of worship for three world religions. Yet, 100 years ago -- a mere moment in time to a city celebrating its 3,000th anniversary -- Jerusalem was a provincial town, an outpost of the Ottoman Empire ruled from Constantinople. This book describes the extraordinary transformation of Jerusalem in the past century, an epic struggle of passionate political, cultural, & spiritual forces. It covers every facet of the legendary city s life -- political, cultural, architectural, intellectual, religious, & social. Illustrated.
