The biblical city of Jerusalem played a significant role in the origination of Christianity. According to the scriptures, Jesus visited the Jewish temple there as a youth. Many years later, it was in Jerusalem where He ate the Last Supper with His disciples before being arrested and tried by Roman Procurator Pontius Pilate, who sentenced Him to crucifixion. Jesus died and was buried just outside the city walls, rose there from the dead and, forty days later, ascended to Heaven from nearby Mount of Olives. Jerusalem is also where some of the disciples received inspiration from the Holy Spirit in a gathering that is considered to be the founding of the Christian Church, and where it is said that Jesus Christ will return in the Second Coming.

Churches and Monasteries in Jerusalem is devoted to twenty ancient houses of worship that were built over the ages to commemorate the decisive milestones of Jesuss time in Jerusalem and that underscore Christianitys ongoing relationship with the sacred city.

This volume is based in part on chapters from the authors book, Churches and Monasteries in the Holy Land. The original text has been expanded to include new, previously unpublished sections, and more stunning photographs have been added to illuminate the content.
