Overview

Covering a range of critical subjects, the essays in Jerusalem: A City and Its Future address practical issues of concern and offer possible solutions for peace in Jerusalem. The perspectives are unique and many have never been published for a wider audience. Contributors consider aspects of the "politics of religion"-an issue rarely explored objectively in existing literature-as well as issues of law and politics, law and religion, the Temple Mount, and law and governance.
