Ikeda Misako

This book introduces key points necessary to understanding the world's situation, or the historical truth about sacred sites. Judaism, Christianity, Islam... The misfortune of three religions born in the same place. Based on their entangled history and structure, we will seek ways for mutual dialogue, understanding, and peaceful coexistence. The rise and fall of Jerusalem, the sacred place for the three religions, is depicted not only in historical narratives but also in contemporary issues. A Japanese translation of an ambitious work with a wish for peace.
