Pilot’s-eye view of the Temple Mount.
Temple Mount
Considered sacred ground even before Biblical times and bitterly contested in our own day, the Temple Mount is one of the most fascinating and important places on earth. We’ve selected several articles that highlight the Temple Mount’s role in the three great Western religions and focus on a key archaeological issue: Just where was the ancient Jewish Temple located?
The articles below were hand-selected by the Biblical Archaeology Review editors especially for Premier Members of the BAS Library.
