About Approaching Jerusalem
Approaching Jerusalem aims to be a trove of accessible writing about ancient and living Jerusalem, including its geographical setting, early exploration, archaeological excavations, architecture, history, people, and more. This newsletter is both an extension of the modern quest to uncover ancient Jerusalem and a self-reflection of how the drive to study Jerusalem has influenced the city we experience today. Original photography is featured throughout. Read more about Approaching Jerusalem here.
