Jerusalem - The Making of a Holy City

The greatest story ever told Acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore explores the rise and fall and rise again of Jerusalem, one of the world's oldest cities, in a compelling series that illuminates the history of this sacred, and peerlessly beautiful place. He documents how this unique city came into being, explaining how and why it became of such major importance to the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions and how these Abrahamic faiths emerged from the Biblical tradition of the Israelites. Montefiore explains: 'This is not just a biography of this extraordinary city, not just a history. It is also an anatomy of holiness, a study of how sanctity develops and mutates and adapts throughout history.'.

  • "Historian and author, Simon Sebag Montefiore presents a fascinating series on Jerusalem: the place where God meets man, the shrine of three faiths -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the most fought over city in history. Montefiore explains how Jerusalem -- established by King David 3,000 years ago was fought for and shaped by Kings and Emperors and how the holiness of the city was intensified by myths and fables, borrowed and refined between religions. He then explores how this peerlessly beautiful city rose from a crumbling ruin after the crusades to become a world centre of Islamic pilgrimage, the object of rivalry between Christian nations, a holy refuge for Jews from all over the world and, ultimately, the site of one of the world's most intractable conflicts."
