Recenzii
Jerusalem Through the Ages is the outcome of a lifetime's work. It is deeply learned, hugely informative, and deserves a wide readership.... Attentive readers will never see Jerusalem - or the Bible - in the same way again. That is a singular achievement.
Authoritative and accessible, Jerusalem Through the Ages is a one-stop shop for both the history and archaeology of Jerusalem. At the onset, it is questioned whether another book on Jerusalem is needed. The answer, we now know, is yes, emphatically, for Jodi Magness has created a magisterial work: captivating, informative, and mesmerizing from the very first page.
A sweeping yet meticulously detailed archaeological history of Jerusalem, filled with colorful characters, fascinating discoveries, and perceptive insights. Jodi Magness is an authoritative and even-handed interpreter of the Holy City's evolution as revealed by its ancient remains.
Magness's riveting book is unparalleled in scope, inviting readers into the Jerusalem she has known and researched for decades as an eminent archaeologist. Surveying ancient and medieval writings alongside archaeological findings and research, Magness details precisely how we know what we know about Jerusalem and its history. Magness, here, serves as both author and guide, touring readers through a legendary city, whose vibrant present remains inextricable from its rich past.
An all-encompassing survey of a city's physical presence and the historical record it reveals.
Jerusalem Through the Ages is a fascinating study of one of the world's most discussed cities-and a window into how archaeologists and historians use evidence to piece its story together.
Jerusalem through the Ages is a wonderful survey of what became, uniquely, a holy city to three of the world's major religions. Magness recounts her story through the fascinating prism of archaeology - and what a story she has to tell. This is a book to cherish.
A lavish survey of the history and archaeology of a city "small in size yet infinite in scope" ... Jerusalem Through the Ages is packed with fascinating insights .... this book is a triumph.
It is difficult to find a balanced and unbiased report of Jerusalem's history that isn't tainted by contemporary political preoccupations. Difficult but no longer impossible: for that is precisely what Magness has given us ... She declares in the introduction that 'as specialists, we have a responsibility to share with the publicas objectively as possible—detailed and scientific information about Jerusalem's history and archaeology'. This is a noble dream, and it is admirably realised
[Jerusalem Through the Ages] reveals aspects of life and history in Palestine, often in smallest details, that enlarge one's ideas about the city and its region.
An invaluable resource.
The book is a worthy addition to the library of all those who love Jerusalem but undeniably it will not be the last book to be written about this enigma "so rich in remains, so incredibly layered and complex that it is impossible to know everything about it," as Magness puts it.
We must thank Professor Magness very much for her thoroughly up-to-date handbook of the archaeology and history of the Holy City.... The book should be read not by specialists only, but by the clergy, pilgrims and tourists (to whom she recommends a special few days's trail through the city), and by every layman interested in ancient Palestine. To someone who might be afraid to study a handbook, I should like to say that the book is not only informative, but really easily readable.
Thoroughly researched and engagingly written.... The author's book should appeal especially to professionals.... That said, her concise summations of Jerusalem's history in each era that she covers in the book, as well as her clear...prose in respect of the archaeological record, means that her work should also appeal to novices interested in a broad and accessible history of Jerusalem.
A remarkably stimulating, well-written, and informative book-a boon for professionals, students, and the general public alike…. Magness surpasses her predecessors in the balancing act of providing up-to-date scholarship together with a well-written story.
A timely and unparalleled overview of the history and archaeology of Jerusalem from the Bronze Age to the end of the Crusader period…. Jerusalem through the Ages is required reading for anyone interested in the archaeology of this quite small and remote city, which is of monumental importance to millions of people worldwide…. Essential.
A remarkably stimulating, well-written, and informative book – a boon for professionals, students, and the general public alike. Such a feat may be virtually impossible to replicate. Anyone who obtains a copy should treasure it, because it may very well be the last of its kind.
For both the obscure and the most iconic monuments and topography, and for the social history of Hellenistic and Roman Judaea, especially as evidenced by burial, this book is an indispensable reference.
