RLST 135 CM - Jerusalem: The Holy City


An examination of the city of Jerusalem, through its history, architecture, the literature written about it, and the ideas associated with it. As a city sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the image and meaning of Jerusalem has had an impact on world politics and history and on the consciousness of millions of people far beyond that of most other cities.  The analysis of various and often conflicting interpretations of Jerusalem will make use of ancient religious texts, poetry, novels, short stories, memoirs, art, architecture, film, and contemporary political debates. HRT II, MES
