Jerusalem's Sacred Esplanade
SEPTEMBER 28, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Jews and Christians call it the Temple Mount, Muslims call it the Noble Sanctuary, but for the new book, Where Heaven and Earth Meet in which scholars from all three religions write about the site's history and significance, it's given the name "Jerusalem's Sacred Esplanade." We'll talk with Jewish scholar Benjamin Kedar and Islam scholar Mustafa Abu Sway about the book and Former Prime Minister of Norway, Kjell Magne Bondevik, joins us to talk about his work in creating a "Universal Code on Holy Sites."

  • Professor Mustafa Abu Sway, Al-Quds University, Jerusalem
  • Kjell Magne Bondevik, Founder, Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights; Former Prime Minister, Norway
