Ritmeyer’s JERUSALEM – THE TEMPLE MOUNT is a peaceful ecumenical book
intended for Muslims, Christians, Jews, and all those for whom the Temple Mount
has special meaning. The authors endeavor to afford
each and every visitor or reader an opportunity to acquaint himself with, relate
to and contemplate sites that may resonate for him when reading Holy Scripture.
Sadly, Muslims insist that the Temple Mount,
holy to millions, should be exclusively theirs and indeed various sites are not
as accessible as one would
wish.
This guide is also meant for all those who have
already seen or read about the marvels of the world – be it the Niagara Falls in
North America, the ancient Inca Temples in South America, the Great Wall of
China, the Sistine Chapel in Rome, the great pyramids and sphinx of Egypt,
Australia's Great Barrier Reef – but have yet to visit Jerusalem. All are
invited to . . . Come, let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord. . . (Isaiah 2:3).
