a pilgrimage of the mind, of the heart, of the soul
Dunne describes three journeys to Jerusalem: the first, a pilgrimage of the mind; the second, a pilgrimage of the heart; and the third, a pilgrimage of the soul. Writing in an almost musical voice, he comes back over and over to themes developed in earlier chapters to orchestrate a most insightful story that ends with a discovery of the home of "the human spirit in a life larger than life." As with most of his books, the central issues are front and center: "Where do you come from?" and "Where are you going?" And he asks this of Jews, Muslims, and Christians in this city that is so sacred to these religions.
