Industry Reviews
"...she has written a straightforward historical narrative, spanning three millennia. As such, her book is very good, admirable for being concise and evenhanded in discussing the disputed terrain. Throughout Ms. Armstrong maintains her focus, never losing sight of the city as her subject. The historical details she cites can be fascinating."
New York Times - Gustav Niebuhr (07/16/1996)
"Jerusalem is once again one of the world's great cities. Yet it remains a city without a solution. Armstrong's eminently sane and patient account of its history is therefore essential reading for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike.
Washington Post Book World - John Ash (07/07/1996)
"Armstrong is a knowledgeable guide, and this is a sober and articulate tour of a complex subject and a city where, as she puts it, history is a dimension of the present."
Literary Review - James Owen (07/19/1996)
"[Armstrong's} strong identification with the innate human yearning for the divine gives intensity and perspective to her exhaustive research, and a sharp edge to her criticism of those who have failed to live up to the ideal of their Jerusalem."
New York Times Book Review - Serge Schmemann (12/08/1996)
"The essence of Armstrong's book is a pageant of Jerusalem history...[she] proposes that 'instead of seeing one's own tradition as an idiosyncratic voyage,' it can be seen as 'part of a huge universal endeavor...each has its own genius'".
