Jerusalem

Jerusalem in the Second Temple period (538 B.C.E.-70 C.E.) experienced dramatic growth as it achieved unprecedented political, religious, and spiritual prominence. Lee Levine traces the development of Jerusalem during this time -- through its demographic, topographical, and archaeological features, its political regimes, public institutions, and its cultural and religious life. Dramatic photos, maps, illustrations, extensive notes, and an index support Levine's impeccable research.
