Synopsis
The Temple of Solomon has been a source of fascination and spiritual reverence for over three thousand years , from its Bronze Age antecedents in the shrines of nomadic tribes, through countless permutations in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This lively account is guaranteed to intrigue everyone with a sense of history, both real and imagined. The building itself was destroyed more than once, on the last occasion by the Romans, yet the great church of Hagia Sophia, the Dome of the Rock, the headquarters of the Templars and numerous medieval cathedrals were all conceived as symbolic re-creations of the original. Mystics of all faiths had visions of a celestial Temple where divine secrets would be revealed to mankind. Solomon's Temple: Myth and History draws on holy texts and mystic writings, works of art and architecture, modern reconstructions and photographs to unravel both scholarly histories and the more speculative modern myth-making of tales like The Da Vinci Code and Raiders of the Lost Ark., Solomon's Temple has been a source of fascination and profound spiritual reverence for the world's major religious faiths for over 3,000 years. It was described in the Dead Sea Scrolls; it was visited by Alexander the Great; and it has inspired artists through the ages. Here, the authors unravel both scholarly and speculative histories, guiding the reader through the maze of modern myths and popular cultural tales that surround the Temple. A masterly introduction to the world of the Temple, this book is guaranteed to inform, intrigue and grip everyone with an interest in history and its endless reinterpretations.
