From the time of Jesus, Palestine has been an integral part of the Christian experience. Not only have Christians always lived in Palestine, but since the fourth century, Christians gradually came to see Palestine as the Holy Land and Jerusalem as the Christian city. In this book, Robert Wilken discuses how Palestine became a Holy Land to Christians and how Christian ideas and feelings toward the land of the Bible evolved as they lived there and made it their own. Drawing on both primary texts and archaeological evidence, Wilken traces the Christian conception of a Holy Land from its origins in the Hebrew Bible to the Muslim conquest of Jeruslaem in the seventh century. He also discusses Jewish ideas of the land and the Jewish response to the Christianization of the Land of Israel. The heart of the book considers how Jerusalem and the biblical land came to be viewed not simply as a place of pilgrimage, but as a place to live, a country with a unique history and privileged status in the Christian world. Wilken concludes with an account of Christian hopes for restoration of Jerusalem after the Muslim conquest, the continuation of Christian life under Muslim rule, and the adoption of Arabic as the language of Christian worship and thought.

For the great monotheistic religions, thoughts of the 'Holy Land' automatically turn to Palestine. That Holy Land has been central to Christian history over the past 2000 years, from the establishment of the early church, through the Crusades, to the present day, when native Christians are in a minority, but Christian tourists abound. Even when not physically controlled by Christians, Palestine and its image are important to the Christian consciousness. Moreover, as a concept, the idea of 'Holy Land' has proved elastic and potent, capable of being divorced from its Levantine particularity to provide models for hopes for the future, and to validate existing societies and political communities, supplying moral drive and psychological support. This collection of twenty-five essays addresses a wide range of issues tied to this broad theme, from the patristic period to the present day. Palestine, and concerns for Palestine, provide a core; but attention also ranges to 'Holy Lands' in America, Russia, seventeenth-century England, and post-Reformation Transylvania. The papers clearly and lucidly demonstrate the constant, continuing, and multi-faceted significance of the Holy Land, real and idealised, in Christian history.
