Abstract
Jerusalem is a city like no other. It is a city that two people view as their national capital while three religions call it holy. In this paper we shall look at Jerusalem in modern Christian thought. There is a vast array of data which demonstrates christian statements, resolutions, and speeches regarding Jerusalem. To gain a clearer insight on the Christian discourse on Jerusalem. We chose to delve into it from three main axes: Jerusalem in the writings of the World Council of Churches. Jerusalem as addressed by the holy See, and finally, Jerusalem in the statements of the Holy Land Heads of Churches.
