Understanding the Never-Ending Conflict in the Middle East

By David Aikman
(Regal, 2009)

Aikman goes behind the headlines to explain the issues of the Middle East from a balanced perspective.

In his latest book, Trinity Forum Senior Fellow David Aikman takes on the headline-grabbing subject of the Middle East. Aikman goes beyond the headlines and sound-bites to examine the complex and deeply rooted sources of the bloodshed and discord that seem to characterize the region. With a journalist’s objectivity and an historian’s analysis, Aikman—who was TIME Magazine’s Jerusalem bureau chief and who now teaches history at Patrick Henry College—explains the historical context of the animosities dominating today’s news, giving readers an understanding of the personalities, relationships and web of complicated loyalties behind the thorny issues that have defied all attempts to bring a lasting peace to the region.

Devotion is neither private nor public prayer, but a life given to God. He is the devout man, therefore, who considers and serves God in everything and who makes all of his life an act of devotion by doing everything in the Name of God and under such rules as are conformable to His glory.

William Law, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life
