The city of Jerusalem

"The City of Jerusalem" by C. R. Conder is a recounting of decades worth of research into Jerusalem’s history and construction. Beginning with the author's reflections of his 1870's visit, the book strives to present an understandable summary of historical events and cultural impacts. It describes his exploration of important sites, and focuses on archaeological discoveries such as building excavations and ancient writings that support a factual account of Jerusalem's past. The author wishes to clear up historical confusion by navigating through mixed traditions that have misrepresented understanding of Jerusalem's history.
