历史学家和作家西蒙·塞巴格·蒙泰菲尔（Simon Sebag Montefiore）在耶路撒冷展示了一系列引人入胜的系列：神与人相遇的地方，犹太教，基督教和伊斯兰教三种信仰的圣地，也是历史上最为激烈的城市战役。 蒙特菲奥雷解释了3000年前由大卫王建立的耶路撒冷是如何与国王和皇帝争战和塑造的，以及如何通过宗教之间借用和提炼的神话和寓言来强化这座城市的圣洁。 然后，他探索了这座绝世美丽的城市如何从十字军东征后的废墟废墟中崛起，成为伊斯兰朝圣的世界中心，这是基督教国家之间相互对抗的对象，是世界各地犹太人的避难所，并最终成为了世界各地的犹太人的避难所。 世界上最棘手的冲突之一。
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.
