Jerusalem

What is the majesty of Jerusalem that has caused it to become the Holy City of three different religions? Karen Armstrong, who was a Roman Catholic nun for seven years, expertly reveals Jerusalem's creation myth as it stands for Jews, Christians and Muslims. The stories of this spiritual center's people and past are fascinating. Armstrong's portrayals are riveting. Her masterful and energetic tone conveys deep wisdom of the city's legends. Listeners become her students and learn of the power of this "sacred space"--its importance in a modern world in which religion and true spirituality are often forgotten. R.A.P.
