Pilgrims from three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, each of which is heir to Old Testament theological tradition - flock to Jerusalem where many of their most sacred memories are centered. This study of ancient Israel's sacred literature on the topic of Jerusalem is not a speculative exercise. It is a subject of immediate relevance to both the religious and political realities of present-day Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scriptures inspired by ancient Israel's priests, prophets, and sages provide the foundation for the status of Jerusalem in today's three monotheistic religions. In \u003ci\u003eThe Holy City\u003c\/i\u003e, Father Hoppe explores how the various theological traditions in the Hebrew Bible, apocrypha, and selected pseudepigrapha present Jerusalem. In closing he discusses how early Judaism dealt with the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters are Jerusalem, the Holy City,\" \"Zion, the City of God: Jerusalem in the Book of Psalms,\" \"A Place for God's Name: Jerusalem in the Deuteronomic Tradition,\" \"Ariel: Jerusalem in Isaiah,\" \"Zion Under Judgment: Jerusalem in Pre-Exilic and Exilic Prophecy,\" \"A Vision of Restoration: Jerusalem in Second Isaiah,\" \"Zion Rebuilt: Jerusalem in the Post-Exilic Period,\" \"The New Jerusalem,\" and \"The Liberated City: The Defense of Jerusalem.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Glazier Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814650813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 5.98w x 0.49d","brand":"Leslie J.
