Carta’s Illustrated History of Jerusalem
“A comprehensive reference work tracing Jerusalem's earliest history beginning in the third millennium BCE through the twentieth century [...] successfully combines the archaeological, biblical, and historical sources in this richly illustrated volume that includes three hundred maps and four hundred illustrations.” —Ann E. Killebrew in Religious Studies Review
“This is a superb resource for those who love the Bible and who have an interest in its long and complicated history. Prominent Israeli archaeologist Meir Ben-Dov provides an informed, balanced, and absorbing commentary on the history of Jerusalem from its remote origins in 3000 B.C. to its present divided and tormented circumstances. Each chapter of this work is lavishly illustrated with maps, drawing and photographs. ...Ben-Dov even proposes how Jerusalem could serve as the capital of Israel and a Palestinian State and manage to preserve sacred heritage at the same time.” —The Bible Today
