About the Issues: Issue 1: Jerusalem is usually seen as important and holy, a symbol of a sacred place. But was it always so? Can research reveal fluctuations in the city's status? Can we identify the moment Jerusalem became a political and religious center? Can we differentiate between moments when it really was grand and moments when the grandeur of the city was only idealized? Seven Essays shed light on these questions.
