In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the crisis that began overseas on Saturday, October 7 when the terrorist organization known as Hamas began to attack Israel. The brutality of these attacks has been difficult to watch. In response, Israel has declared war and is preparing for a ground invasion of the Gaza strip to target Hamas. How are Christians supposed to respond to this? Can war ever be just?

There is much to understand with this topic, and we encourage you to stay tuned to the Church & Culture blog for two releases coming out next week for more on understanding the history of this conflict. If you are new to Church & Culture, we invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog. Dr. White also mentioned a book that he suggested for understanding more about the history of Israel as a state - The World: A Brief Introduction by Richard Hoss.

We hope that this podcast is helpful for understanding the need for Christians to be able to intellectually engage this topic and to know where to stand.
