This is the official blog for Dr. Robert R. Cargill’s UCLA AN N EA 10W course entitled JERUSALEM: THE HOLY CITY.
The UCLA course catalog Description is as follows:
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 was created by Dr. William Schniedewind, UCLA.
