Wellspring of Holiness
Description
Starting with the Canaanites, this program delves into the origins of Jerusalem as a pharaoh-ruled province, then traces its emergence as a holy site for the three Abrahamic faiths. The video discusses the evidence for its having become a Jewish city under King David, explores the construction of the first temple by Solomon, and concludes in the 7th century AD - the eve of the capture of Jerusalem by the Muslim caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab. Along the way, the program looks at the ministry of Jesus Christ and the eventual expulsion of the Jews by the Romans.
