The Oxford History of...
The history of the Holy Land, from the origins of Israel through to fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I.
Traces the 3,000 years which saw the rise of three of the world's major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
A stimulating, thematic approach to topics usually overlooked in historical surveys - pilgrimage, the concept of holy space, and the nature of scripture.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how the religious institutions still prevalent today have evolved over the centuries, and the historical background to the modern politics of the Middle East.
