Solomon's Temple: Myth, Conflict, and Faith Review
The reason I purchased and read SOLOMON'S TEMPLE: MYTH, CONFLICT AND FAITH was because I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Balfour's brilliant earlier book BERLIN - THE POLITICS OF ORDER. It is a book of layered highly original and authentic historical architectural investigation - superbly illustrated. SOLOMON'S TEMPLE likewise proved to be an engaging, architectural related odyssey that captured my interest in a subject in which I had no interest at all. Balfour is a storyteller and through his contagious enthusiasm, imagination and suggestion, he manages to provoke, stimulate and enrich our curiosity.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Solomon's Temple: Myth, Conflict, and Faith" are high quality item.
