The book of Psalms calls Jerusalem the City of God and Zechariah calls it the City of Truth - but whose God and whose Truth? While wrestling with these eternal questions, the people of Jerusalem have established their city as center stage and have cast themselves as the main characters in a drama whose plot radiates from - and converges on - the Old City. This thorough portrait of Jerusalem was published in April 1996, accompanying the Jerusalem map and the article "The Three Faces of Jerusalem."
This map of Old City Jerusalem features the city's many historical sites in a flourish of bold color. The Christian, Armenian, Muslim, and Jewish quarters are shown in distinct colors, with notes describing the most significant sacred sites inside the walls and beyond. A blending of old and new, some of these sacred sites include the Temple Mount, Gethsemane, and the Rockefeller Museum.
Done in a style that evokes a sense as ancient and vibrant as the city itself, this divine mosaic represents the blurred boundaries between fact and faith, religion and politics, and the sacred and the secular.
A truly vibrant and unique conversation piece, this map makes a fine companion to the accompanying Jerusalem map.
