This title thoroughly walks readers through the history of Jerusalem, incorporating events and history from the Torah and Bible as well as discussing Muslim influence. Though all three play a role in Jerusalem today, the author does not favor one religious group and is very neutral and respectful in discussing each position and their impact on the city and why they consider it holy. Includes lots of black-and-white illustrations and is broken into short chapters.

Description
Publisher's Description of Where Is Jerusalem?
Which of these facts are true?
The hill where King Solomon built a great temple is as big as thirty football fields
Millions visit the city every year because of its importance in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam
It is one of the very oldest cities in the world.
In 2005, a group of construction workers in Jerusalem made an incredible discovery. Underneath the parking lot they were digging up lay an ancient city that was built in the tenth century! Three years later, gold coins from an even earlier century were found at the site. The city of Jerusalem is like a layer cake of history—more than five thousand years of complicated history—all of which author Ellen Morgan explains clearly and objectively in this illustrated book.
