The articles in this volume introduce readers to the writings of four scholars who study the subject of temple desecration. They focus on the ways in which historians study the political culture, events, historical narratives, material remains and aesthetic norms of a time very distant from us. These essays also underline how easily history can be subverted to serve narrow, cynical ends. At a time when history has become so important in the making of the nation's identity, the articles in this book invite the readers to pause and reflect on the craft of history.
