The Land Called Holy

Palestine in Christian history and thought

by

  • 2 Want to read

From the time of Jesus, Palestine has been an integral part of the Christian experience. Not only have Christians always lived in Palestine, but more important, since the fourth century Christians gradually came to see Palestine as a Holy Land and Jerusalem as the Christian city. In this authoritative and accessible book, Robert L. Wilken discusses how Palestine became a Holy Land to Christians and how Christian ideas and feelings toward the land of the Bible evolved as they lived there and made it their own. Drawing on both primary texts and archaeological evidence, Wilken traces the Christian conception of a Holy Land from its origins in the Hebrew Bible to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in the seventh century. - Jacket flap.

Book Details

Table of Contents

To possess the land
Within my holy borders
Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land
Heavenly Jerusalem, the mother of us all
A new Jerusalem facing the renowned city of old
At the very spot
Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt
The land that I will show you
The God-trodden land
When will the light of Israel be rekindled?
The Jerusalem above wept over the Jerusalem below
The desolate Amalek rose up to smite us
