Books by Lawrence Joffe

A sumptuously illustrated volume detailing the history of the Jewish peoples and their religious beliefs and practices.

From Stonehenge built thousands of years ago to inner city churches and synagogues in present-day Detroit and Chicago, from ancient Roman temples to Mayan pyramids in Mexico, and from Hindu temples lost in the jungle to Buddhist shrines in the Chinese desert, this photographic book shows what happens when nature reclaims once-holy ground.
