This second volume contains over 4,475 entries, furthering the author's work of providing a comprehensive bibliography of modern research on the city of Jerusalem. Volume II supplements volume I not only by providing new titles, but also by including additional information on titles that appeared in the first volume (including notices of reviews). As with Volume I, forty chapters are arranged under eight major headings: general studies on Jerusalem, Jerusalem during the Biblical period, Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period, Roman Jerusalem, Jewish Jerusalem, Christian Jerusalem, Jerusalem as a Muslim City, and Jerusalem in modern times. Reviews and indexes.
James D. Purvis is Professor of Religion at Boston University, where he has taught courses in Biblical studies, ancient Near Eastern history and archeology, early Judaism, and an interdisciplinary course in the history of Jerusalem.
