Jerusalem is sacred for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We will examine Jerusalem's long history, divisive politics, contested character, and possible futures from different disciplinary perspectives. The course attends to Jerusalem's place in the “Abrahamic” faiths, and explores how religion, nationalism, and identity shape the city in war and in peace.
