Jerusalem in Memory and Eschatology

<p><b>Investigating a range of eschatological ideologies, this volume explores the connection </b><br><b>between notions of sacred space and time in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim understandings </b><br><b>of Jerusalem.</b><br><br>The recognition of Jerusalem as a holy city both unites and divides Judaism, Christianity, and <br>Islam. While these three religious traditions share a reverence for the same ancient city, this <br>veneration leads more often to tension and violence than to commonality and cooperation.<br><br>Each of these religions draws heavily from religious memory and eschatological prophecies, <br>and sees Jerusalem as a site of past and future upheaval; however, the distinctions in their <br>visions imbue Jerusalem with meanings that reinforce conflicting and contested ideologies. <br>Offering multiple analyses of religious interpretations of the city and its sacred sites, this <br>volume explores these divergent visions of the remembered and anticipated Jerusalem.</p>
