The Winter 2011 offering of ANNEA 10W: Jerusalem, the Holy City with Dr. Robert R. Cargill begins today at 12:30pm in Haines A2.
This course surveys the religious, political, and cultural history of Jerusalem over three millennia as a symbolic focus of three faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The course content will focus on the transformation of sacred space as reflected by literary and archaeological evidence by examining the testimony of artifacts, architecture, and iconography in relation to the written word. We will study the creation of mythic Jerusalem through event and experience. Course requirements will focus on developing advanced writing skills.
The course website is available to UCLA students. Video lectures of the course will be available on iTunes U
The course also has a Twitter page and a Facebook page.

Thank you for placing this on I tunes U. I do not attend UCLA, but love the city of Jerusalem, its history and geography. This class makes me re read the Bible, and learn more every time I study.
