appendices, maps, charts, feature articles, photos, and indices. This scriptural commentary is rich

Jerusalem, The Eternal City. Co-authored with David B. Galbraith and Andrew C. Skinner. Salt

Lake City: Deseret Book Company, March 1996. (602 pages, of which DKO wrote and prepared

300 pages, including the Title, Preface, Introduction, ten of the twenty-eight chapters, Appendices,

Glossary, Bibliography, charts, maps, photos, and all stages of editing). This volume is a study of

the Holy City of Jerusalem from 2,000 BC to AD 2,000 — from Melchizedek to Millennium.

Through the disciplines of theology, history, geography, anthropology, archaeology, linguistics,

and political science, the book constitutes a comprehensive analysis of Jerusalem’s multi-faceted

influence on world history through forty centuries, its preeminence and centrality in the human

drama. After a philosophical introduction to this most famous city on earth, and a chapter

describing the physical setting of the city, various periods of its history are examined. The politics

of modern Jerusalem are explored through World Wars, Arab-Israeli conflicts, United Nations

intercessions, and mediations of the major powers. The book also focuses on the broad cultural

diversity in Jerusalem today: the city’s ethnic and religious groups, its expansive growth and

modernization, its architecture, its factious government, and its political tensions. A unique feature

is the role of Jerusalem as a Temple City, past and future. Also uniquely featured is a view of

Latter-day Saint involvement in the City, especially Brigham Young University’s Jerusalem Center

for Near Eastern Studies. This work presupposes Latter-day Saint interest and commitment to

understand the role of Jerusalem while anticipating its ultimate destiny through a painful transition

into the City of God, the City of Holiness.
