Full Summary:
No summary paragraph submitted.
'Solomon's Temple' by Alan BalfourOriginally published in hardback by Wiley-Blackwell publishing, College of Architecture Professor Alan Balfour’s Solomon’s Temple: Myth, Conflict and Faith, is set to be issued in paperback and re-released as a winter publication.
Solomon’s Temple is an “extensive study of the interrelated history of two monuments, Solomon’s Temple and The Dome of the Rock, drawing on an exhaustive review of all the visual and textual evidence.” Taking the form of a narrative, the book’s work is based on sources located in religious texts, archives and museums in the Middle East and elsewhere, and most significantly at the sites of the holy places themselves.
When a book published in hardback to start goes into a paper edition, it serves as a mark of intellectual success, and a promise of future success as a textbook, resource and/or proverbial “good read.”
Solomon’s Temple: Myth, Conflict and Faith is currently available both in hardcover and as a Kindle edition at amazon.com
