The Rock of Jerusalem is one of the worlds most spiritually resonant and politically contentious sites: where Adam first stepped upon leaving Paradise, Abraham attempted to sacrifice Isaac, Jesus preached, and Muhammad began his night journey to heaven,. Sorting through the rubble of the three competing faiths, Kanan Makiya haswoven a vivid tapestry from centuries of legend and belief to imagine the origins of Islams first monument, the Dome of the Rock. A narrative of mythic power, The Rock offers a grand tour of seventh-century Jerusalem and-by reminding us of how much Jews and Muslims once shared-serves as a bracing talisman for our times.
