By Hershel Shanks
New York Times book critic Richard Bernstein has called Hershel Shanks “the world’s most influential amateur Biblical archaeologist.”

Few places in the world have enjoyed such religious significance as the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. According to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim doctrine, it was here that Adam was buried after being expelled from Eden. This is also the site where it is said Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son, where Solomon built his Temple, and where Muhammad is said to have ascended to heaven. Using 160 vivid illustrations and revealing research, Hershel Shanks takes you from the Golden Dome backwards through time in an exploration of the temples that once stood in this spot.

205 pages, 13 illustrations, 10 color plates, Softcover.
