Jerusalem in Memory and EschatologyJewish, Christian, and Muslim Visions of the Past and Future of Jerusalem\nAuthor(s): Emma O'Donnell Polyakov\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9781350505735, 978-1350505735\nSynopsis\nInvestigating a range of eschatological ideologies, this volume explores the connection \nbetween notions of sacred space and time in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim understandings \nof Jerusalem.\n\nThe recognition of Jerusalem as a holy city both unites and divides Judaism, Christianity, and \nIslam. While these three religious traditions share a reverence for the same ancient city, this \nveneration leads more often to tension and violence than to commonality and cooperation.\n\nEach of these religions draws heavily from religious memory and eschatological prophecies, \nand sees Jerusalem as a site of past and future upheaval; however, the distinctions in their \nvisions imbue Jerusalem wit.
