Abstract

The author states that a Christian meaning of Jerusalem for our times often lose within the current debates about its political and religious future. He thinks that if there is a history of God's revelation, we can as well talk about its geography. Therefor, it seems to be relevant that Christianity has been turning toward Jerusalem as a physical reality in history not only as a spiritual idea. E.g. the event of the Pentecost is the reason why Jerusalem became a symbol of striving for reconciliation and unity as well as a memento of lasting quarrel and division causing disorder and unrest in the city more than in other parts of the world. The church community in Jerusalem has been accepted from the beginning as the mother and up today it is the only place where Christian churches live together. Jerusalem represents a treasure which has always been important for Christians regarding a relation of history and geography, an establishing event and a place as well as a monument and contemporary life.
