Imagine walking where those who shaped your deepest beliefs have walked...

Matt Lewis is joined by archeologist Professor Jodi Magness to learn how Jerusalem flourished under Byzantine rule and suffered the bloody sieges and dramatic shifts during the Crusades, where Jerusalem saw one of its greatest massacres. They discuss the peaceful transition to Islamic rule and the transformative impact of the construction of the Dome of the Rock.

From its significance in early Christian and Islamic times to the violent shifts during the Crusades, discover how this unlikely yet pivotal city shaped religious and cultural landscapes.
