Book Description:

This book tells the story of the site, from its creation to its modern acquisition of different and potent meanings for Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cultures. Primarily it is as a work of art that the Dome of the Rock emerges from these pages, understood for the quality that allows it to transcend time--and perhaps even faith and culture.
