An international team of historians, archaeologists and biblical
scholars discuss new perspectives on the archaeology, history and
biblical traditions of ancient Jerusalem and examine their
ethical, literary, historical and theological relationships.
Essays range from a discussion of the Hellenization of Jerusalem
in the time of Herod to an examination of its identity and myth
on the Internet, while Thomas L. Thompson's informed Introduction
queries whether a true history of ancient Jerusalem and Palestine
can in fact ever be written.
