Between Heaven and Earth: Churches and Monasteries of the Holy Land

"Between Heaven and Earth" is a collection of photos and stories of around 100 Christian sites across the Holy Land, and with a special chapter for the sites of Jerusalem. In addition to the description of the different sites, and their religious, historical and cultural significance, the book provides an extensive and up-to-date picture of the Christian communities in the country. This is a must-read book for both researchers and students, tour-guides, tourists and anyone interested in Israel and in particular in the Christian presence in the Holy Land. "Between Heaven and Earth" is the summation of the life-work of the late Daniel Rossing, researcher, lecturer and expert on the Christian communities in the Holy Land, and winner of the Mount Zion prize for the promotion of interreligious relations in Israel for his 40 years of work in the field. Rossing served as the Director of the Christian Communities Department of the Ministry of Religions and in the Jerusalem Foundation, and founded the Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations (JCJCR).
