Jerusalem

Highly illustrated, this title in the "Alpha Holy Cities" series offers clear and simple information on the important religious city of Jerusalem.

Including a brief history of the city, its social, economic and cultural development and the role of its spiritual leaders, this book explains why Jerusalem is so important to three of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

This book also looks at some of Jerusalem's traditions, festivals, legends, art and architecture with the help of numerous colour photographs.

This book is suitable for a wide range of reading abilities, with key words highlighted, and "think back" questions that ask the reader what they have learnt so far.
