It is arguably the most controversial city in the world: Jerusalem - in German "Foundation of Peace." More and more, it is coming into focus in the Middle East conflict. Today's struggle for Jerusalem particularly centers around the Temple Mount in the Old City, where the Dome of the Rock mosque rises with its golden dome. The New York Times rightly referred to this piece of land as the most explosive square meters in the world.

But what are the historical backgrounds of this district? Will the third Jewish temple soon be built there? And could that trigger a new world war? What significance does Jerusalem hold for humanity? Does the Bible provide credible, understandable, and binding statements on this topic?

In this book, the author provides answers to these questions.
