It evokes the metaphor of the Christian church as Solomon’s Temple, effectively establishing the rural church as a local Jerusalem. Hunseby Church, built during the long twelfth century, is part of the massive wave of stone churches built all over medieval Denmark in this period. The art of building in stone came in the wake of the late Christianization of the Danes and was exclusively used to erect churches; churches built in the style of the socalled Romanesque. However, the visual articulation of the “novel” architectural expression was more than mere play with forms and formats; it was visual rhetoric. As such, the “style” of the early stone churches carried with it a plethora of Christian metaphors and allusions intended to translate Jerusalem and the Christian storyworld onto Danish soil.","PeriodicalId":431574,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Jerusalem Code","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130527643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jerusalem itself plays no significant role in the teaching of secular geography, and so the comparison rests on the general geographies of the Holy Land on the one hand and Palestine, eventually Israel, on the other. My aim is to compare representations of a terrain and a territory that is both physical and metaphysical. At this level, the difference between city and land is primarily one of scale, not of substance. The Jerusalem “ code ” is here a historical entanglement; a knot which may or may not be in the process of being untied. The material here is maps in textbooks on two subjects: geography and biblical history. The history of the relationship between them is partly about separation, of subjects moving in different directions, but it is also a history of a paradoxical convergence: at the end of the twentieth century, contemporary textbook-maps of the Holy Land may have been unprecedently dissimilar to mainstream, geographical cartography, but their function is so traditional as to be almost archaic. – biblical book. readers 1 In-depth discussions of official norms for religious education age my scope now,","PeriodicalId":431574,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Jerusalem Code","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121106552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large number of dissident groups followed, leaving their homelands for religious, political, or economic reasons.

Scandinavians arriving with later waves of immigration were often motivated by the ideals of “the Land of Promise,” and some by “the Promised Land.” Many Scandinavians also joined the religious community who succeeded in establishing their Zion on the American continent, the Latter Days Saints.

This tradition centred on the participation in the crusade campaigns to the Middle East, but not exclusively, as it included crusading activities in or near the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean. By the mid-1150s, the tradition was consolidated by the joint crusade of Earl Rognvald Kolsson of Orkney and the Norwegian magnate and later kingmaker, Erling Ormsson, which followed in the footsteps of the earlier crusade of King Sigurd the Crusader in the early 1100s. The participation in the crusades not only brought Norse crusaders in direct contact with the most holy places in Christendom, but also the transmission of a wide range – political, religious and cultural – of ideas. One of them was to bring back a piece of the holiness of Jerusalem, by various means, in order to create a Jerusalem in the North.","PeriodicalId":431574,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Jerusalem Code","volume":"58 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133003255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
