Summary: Superbly written, organized and presented
Review: Jerusalem: Portrait Of The City In The Second Temple Period (538 B.C.E. - 70 C.E.) by Professor Lee I Levine (Department of History and the Institute of Archeology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) is a superbly written, organized and presented historical and archaeological survey of just about all that modern study and science have gathered about Jerusalem, its temples, and the historiography and archaeologically based evidence that points to how people once lived and worshiped there. A welcome and very strongly recommended addition to World History, Biblical Archaeology, and Judaic Studies reference shelves, Jerusalem: Portrait Of The City In The Second Temple Period (538B.C.E. - 70 C.E.) is a straightforward, accessible text which is enhanced throughout with black-and-white photographs.
