Prof. Em. Dr. Luc Dequeker (KU Leuven, Faculties of Arts and Theology)
presents in this volume previously published articles and three new
contributions concerning Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple. The first part
concerns the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the restoration of the Temple
after the Babylonian Exile. The second part deals with the cultural
split in Jerusalem's temple milieu during the 'Maccabean' period. Two
studies here deal with the site of the Syrian Aqra near the Temple and
the site of the Royal Necropolis in the newly created 'City of David' on
the Western Hill. The third part discusses the presentation in Jewish
visual arts of the hoped for restoration of the Temple by the Messiah.
The fourth part concerns the expectation of the New Jerusalem in
Christian belief as reflected in the Book of Revelation and on the Ghent
Altarpiece of Jan van Eyck.
