Crisis in Israel: A conversation with Dr. Jim Denison

October 10, 2023 -

As war in Israel begins, questions abound.

What is the crisis in Israel? Who is Hamas, and why did they attack Israel? How is Israel responding? Why should Christians care, and how should we pray and help? What might this new conflict mean for larger nations? How is faith and religion sometimes used as a cloak to cover a relentless pursuit of power? 

Dr. Jim Denison discusses these and other critical issues connected to the new war between Israel and Hamas. 

Note: This episode was recorded on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.
