City of the Great King Jerusalem from David to the Present

"A wonderfully varied collection of monographs by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scholars, each of whom brings us up to date in different ways. Editor Rosovsky...presents the generally splendid contributions in three sections: The Heavenly City; The Earthly City; and the City in Literature, Art, and Architecture...The book opens with an essay on the inhabitants of Jerusalem by archaeologist Magen Broshi, who offers us the clearest and most informative history of the city we could wish to have. Prof. F. E. Peters, in his fascinating description of the rise of the Holy Places, gives matters a different slant...This is easily the best of the more didactic books on Jerusalem published to mark its 3,000th anniversary. Every Jerusalemite should have it, as should anyone interested in the city. What a kaleidoscope!Rosovsky, Nitza is the author of 'City of the Great King Jerusalem from David to the Present', published 1996 under ISBN 9780674131903 and ISBN 0674131908.
