Review(s)
"The collected works offer an ambitious and varied reassessment of the stury of the Church in the Holy Land, with the distinct advantage of being written from a non-theological standpoint and for an English speaking audience. (...) This volume certainly comes as a long awaited and welcome addition to our understanding of the histoyr of Christianity in the land of its origin. (...) Above all, Ora Limor and Guy G. Stroumsa have helped shed new light on the richness and diversity of the history of Christianity in the Holy Land, which in itself is a most praiseworthy accomplishment." (M. Carrier, in: The Medieval Review, 07.11.14)
Summary
This volume fills a major desideratum in historical scholarship on the religious history of the Holy Land. It presents a synthesis of our knowledge of the history of Christianity and the various churches that coexisted there from the beginnings of Christianity to the fall of the Crusader Kingdoms. It also offers analytical studies of major topics and problems. While the first part is organized chronologically, the second follows a thematic plan, dealing with the major themes pertaining to the topic, from various points of view and covering several disciplinary fields: History, Theology, Archaeology, and Art History. The volume represents the outcome of an international project initiated by Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi of Jerusalem, and the contributors are leading experts in their fields.
