Title: Between Swords and Stones: Jerusalem, a History
Description: For 3000 years the city that is holy to all three monotheistic religions has known little peace and tranquility and has been the site of wars, conquests and division. By drawing on historical, literary, religious and cinematic sources, this course will explore the history of Jerusalem from antiquity to the modern period. It will examine its place in the religious imagination of Jews, Muslims and Christians and trace the political history of a city that continues to be one of the most inflammable places on earth. The course will look at the conditions in today's 'united' Jerusalem and explore the different contingencies to bring peace to it.
