Under Jerusalem - Book Review with Author Andrew Lawler
Under Jerusalem - Book Review with Author Andrew Lawler
On this very special episode we welcome Author and Journalist Andrew Lawler, to discuss his research and time in Jerusalem, the world's most contested city - one of the holiest places on earth for the Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
We review Mr. Lawler's book "Under Jerusalem", which is an incredible journey through the archaeological digs and related history of Jerusalem from the 1860's to today. The book opens in 1863, a French senator arrived in Jerusalem hoping to unearth relics dating to biblical times. Digging deep underground, he discovered an ancient grave that, he claimed, belonged to an Old Testament queen. News of his find ricocheted around the world, evoking awe and envy alike, and inspiring others to explore Jerusalem’s storied past.
In the century and a half since the Frenchman broke ground, Jerusalem has drawn a global cast of fortune seekers and missionaries, historians and archaeologists, all of them eager to extract the biblical past from beneath the city’s streets and shrines. Their efforts have had profound effects, not only on our understanding of Jerusalem’s history, but on its hotly disputed present. The quest to retrieve ancient Jewish heritage has sparked bloody riots and thwarted international peace agreements. It has served as a cudgel, a way to stake a claim to the most contested city on the planet. Today, the earth below Jerusalem remains a battleground in the struggle to control the city above.
Under Jerusalem takes readers into the tombs, tunnels, and trenches of the Holy City. It brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. With clarity and verve, acclaimed journalist Andrew Lawler reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem, but could provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist.
