Why does one small hill in Jerusalem divide the world?

For three thousand years, the thirty-five acres known as the Temple Mount to Jews and the Haram al-Sharif to Muslims have been the most contested piece of ground on earth. It is where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son. It is where Solomon built his Temple and where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. It is where Rome destroyed the Jewish world, where the Crusaders massacred a city, and where, in 1967, Israeli paratroopers stood at the Western Wall and wept.

This is the complete story of that hill - and of the two faiths that will not stop fighting over it.

Written with scrupulous neutrality and exhaustive historical depth, this book covers everything a reader needs to understand the world's most intractable religious and political conflict:

- The full origins of Judaism and Islam - their founding stories, their scriptures, their similarities, and the deep Abrahamic roots they share
