Jerusalem is key to peace. Jerusalem, the religious epicenter of the three monotheistic religions and the geographic nexus of the mappa mundi, is now again the center of attention in an escalating political struggle in the Middle East. The move of the US embassy to Jerusalem in May 2018 has sparked many questions. While for many it meant the end of any prospect for peace, the Trump administration continue to claim that the deal of the century is yet to come. While the importance of the city for Jews is highlighted, its importance for Christians and Muslims in general and Palestinian Christians in particular is ignored. This book contains the findings of the latest research and studies conducted by Dar al-Kalima University College of Arts and Culture in 2018. The first chapter looks at the Scottish and English religious perception of Jerusalem as a source for British politics. The second chapter looks at the imagined Jerusalem in the Age of Trump. The third chapter examines the importance of Jerusalem in modern Christian thought while a fourth chapter looks at the role of Palestinian Christians in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, followed by a fifth chapter contains the results of a survey about the Christian institutions in Jerusalem. The following two chapters tackle the issue of Holy Sites especially in relation to the international agreements with possible solutions. The last chapter looks at the present context of Jerusalem and the situation of the Palestinians who are denied citizenship and have to face a settler colonial Israeli project.
