Jerusalem Sacred History
Tawfiq al-Madini’s reading examines Bouraoui al-Trabelsi’s book *The Historic Jerusalem Sanctuary: Between the Sacred and the Defiled*, published in Tunisia in 2026 and running to 422 pages. The book explores the origins of the sacred and the relationship between religious texts and historical events. Through four narratives tracing the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it follows the development of temples and religious symbols—from ziggurats to the Dome of the Rock—linking architecture with belief, identity, and power. It also recounts Jerusalem’s history and its significance in the three religions, raising questions about how religious narratives take shape and what historical conclusions can be drawn from texts and archaeological remains.
