Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Jerusalem is not an ordinary city and Crossing Jerusalem is not a standard telling of a city’s story.
Crossing Jerusalem
What you need to know before your trail
While the author himself is deeply skeptical of religion, this book is both a portrait of a spiritual Jerusalem, and a recounting of the effect the city has on the spirit of one visitor who discovers its ongoing distress – through it he discovers some sort of spirituality in himself.
At the same time a travelogue, a questioning of spiritual values, and an examination of the beliefs that have sustained Jerusalem’s populations through centuries of conflict and division, Crossing Jerusalem offers an unusual and penetrating perspective of the city.
