CHICAGO, Sept. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- On October 1-2, Chosen People Ministries is presenting the Inside The Middle East Crisis conference at The Moody Church in Chicago to critically examine the epicenter of the dramatic spiritual, geopolitical and economic events in the Middle East through a biblical lens.
The first event of its kind in the Midwest, Chosen People Ministries is hosting experts including leading political experts, theologians, and Israeli and Palestinian leaders, who have never before collaborated to directly address the Middle East conflict. The conference will create a compelling forum to discuss the past, present and future of the Middle East, and give attendees the opportunity to explore the biblical basis for the crisis and the Bible's message of peace and hope for the region. Nearly two thousand people are expected to attend this event.

• Dr. Charlie Dyer, a biblical scholar and radio host, sheds light on the future of Israel, Iran and Iraq and what the changing landscape may look like.
