Jerusalem. Mystery of Three Millennia

The book is a detailed account of the history of Jerusalem, built in chronological order. It is dedicated not so much retelling of historical events, as the analysis of the exclusive role of the city in the history of different peoples, religions and cultures. Temporal coverage of the book is extremely wide: from the first mention of Jerusalem in the Bible and various historical sources external to the present day. The book covers many important historical, religious and political issues, but in such a way as to make the discussion simple and understandable to the widest audience. The book is designed for all who are interested in the history of monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and associated strata of modern culture, as well as the deep roots of the current complicated political situation in the Middle East.
