		History is written by the victor, and all the Christian documents are Pauline.
		Though Armstrong's approach lacks the depth of a Marxist understanding of the way history works; nevertheless she is brilliant on the subject of religion, and expresses well the very real emotional experience of 'the divine', and the eschatological yearning for 'the universal return to the unity whence all living derives'.
		While this is a superb, fair-minded and empathetic history of the city which will be enlightening to all except very knowledgeable specialists, it is at the same time Karen Armstrong's meditation on the "sacred geography" conceived by the three faiths in its spiritual and its material form.
