Jerusalem: A City and Its Future

Front Cover
Marshall J. Breger, Ora Ahimeir
Syracuse University Press, Jun 1, 2002 - History - 516 pages
Covering a range of critical subjects, the essays in Jerusalem: A City and Its Future address practical issues of concern and offer possible solutions for peace in Jerusalem. The perspectives are unique and many have never been published for a wider audience. Contributors consider aspects of the "politics of religion"—an issue rarely explored objectively in existing literature—as well as issues of law and politics, law and religion, the Temple Mount, and law and governance.
