Jerusalem, Jerusalem（ISBN=9780547195612） 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

In Carroll's provocative reading of the deep past, the Bible's

brutality responded to the violence that threatened Jerusalem from

the start. Centuries later, the mounting European fixation on a

heavenly Jerusalem sparked both anti-Semitism and racist colonial

contempt. The holy wars of the Knights Templar burned apocalyptic

mayhem into the Western mind. Carroll's brilliant and original leap

is to show how, as Christopher Columbus carried his own Jerusalem

centric worldview to the West, America too was powerfully shaped by

the dream of the City on a Hill - from Governor Winthrop to Abraham

Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson to Ronald Reagan. The nuclear

brinksmanship of the 1973 Yom Kippur War helps prove his point:

religion and violence fuel each other, with Jerusalem the ground

zero of the heat.

In Carroll's provocative reading of the deep past, the Bible's brutality responded to the violence that threatened Jerusalem from the start. Centuries later, the mounting European fixation on a heavenly Jerusalem sparked both anti-Semitism and racist colonial contempt. The holy wars of the Knights Templar burned apocalyptic mayhem into the Western mind. Carroll's brilliant and original leap is to show how, as Christopher Columbus carried his own Jerusalem centric worldview to the West, America too was powerfully shaped by the dream of the City on a Hill - from Governor Winthrop to Abraham Lincoln to Woodrow Wilson to Ronald Reagan. The nuclear brinksmanship of the 1973 Yom Kippur War helps prove his point: religion and violence fuel each other, with Jerusalem the ground zero of the heat.
