About this episode
The episode explores the significance of Jerusalem in the New Testament and its transformation through Jesus and the destruction of the temple.
In the New Testament, Jerusalem reaches its peak. Herod constructs a temple that is one of the greatest buildings in the world. Through Jesus, God returns to Jerusalem, but he brings an unwelcome message. When the temple is destroyed, the nature of Jerusalem is changed forever, but it remains among the world's most important cities to this day.
