Episode 38—Understanding the Middle East (Part 1 of 3)

I’m going to interrupt our regularly scheduled podcasts to bring you “Understanding the Middle East (Parts 1-3).” These audiobook excerpts are designed to help with “some” understanding of today’s headlines.  While I can’t make full sense of the current war in Israel, I can provide some historical background to the conflict. This background won’t provide commentary on recent events, but it’s a starting point for those that might not be familiar with Old Testament history or the formation of Israel after World War II. For best results, please don’t miss “Understanding the Middle East” Parts 2 and 3. (This pre-recorded audiobook excerpt is from The Mystery of History Volume IV, Lesson 64, “The Formation of Israel—May 14, 1948.”)
