LIFE takes readers into the Middle East to explore the places that Jews, Christians and Muslims consider sacred. The book examines how these three faiths emerged and why their holiest sites cluster together in such a small region. Stunning photography captures these sacred locations as modern pilgrims visit to pay their respects. The images reveal both the ancient history embedded in these places and their continuing spiritual significance today. The book profiles key religious figures including Moses, Christ and Muhammad, plus other important leaders whose stories connect across faiths. Beautiful artwork accompanies the photography that forms the centerpiece of this visual journey through the Holy Land.
