Biblical Scholar Presents "Jerusalem Besieged: 4,000 Years of Conflict in the City of Peace"

Author, archeologist, and Biblical scholar Dr. Eric Cline presents on the 4,000 year conflict in ancient and contemporary Jerusalem on Wednesday, Sept 25 at Arcadia University. Free and Open to the public. The lecture will look at how the city's history has struggled with peace, with revolts, riots, military battles, terrorist attacks, and religious and political strife. Dr. Cline also will illustrate how studying Jerusalem's long history can illuminate how archeology, politics, and nationalism are frequently linked in the troubled environment of the MIddle East today and how modern political factions exploit ancient conflicts and their archeology.
