Should Christians Support Israel? 

Pick up a free copy of Dr. Myers' book at www.summit.org/forum
Read Dr. Eric Patterson's book on the subject "A Basic Guide to the Just War Tradition: Christian Foundations and Practices"
Christians today are confused about how to respond to the war in Gaza. We were all horrified by the attacks on October 7th, but since then, many in the media and academia have been quick to shift the blame from Hamas to Israel for what they say is a genocidal overreaction. It's further claimed that the only reason that Christians support Israel is because of a whitewashed view of Israel and false understanding of the place of the Jewish people in the continuing plan of God.
What are Christian to think? To help you answer this and similar questions, the Colson Center is hosting a Breakpoint Forum on June 6th with Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries and Dr. Eric Patterson of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Dr. Myers brings his long experience with the Christian worldview to bear with his new book on the Gaza War, while Dr. Patterson brings his great expertise on questions of Just War. Please join Dr. Timothy D. Padgett at 7 PM, ET, on June 6th for a livestream conversation and time of Q&A regarding this vital issue for today.
