Summary

Many of the perspectives in these essays are unique and have never been published for a wider audience. Contributors consider aspects of the "politics of religion" -- an issue rarely explored objectively in existing literature. Other articles propose ways of mediating the challenges of Jerusalem.

In covering a range of crucial subjects, the book will appeal to Jewish and Christian audiences alike. Other primary readers include Middle East and law scholars.
