Unlike the “politically correct,” evolution-influenced history curricula used in America’s public schools, and even in many Christian schools, this biblically based curriculum shows students the real history of the world! This teacher guide supplies a structure that can be easily modified for the particular needs of your students. It provides multifaceted creative ideas, teacher tips, and spiritual application to spark your students’ discovery and exploration of the amazing events of ancient times.
At the same time that the Napoleonic Wars usher in the era of the Late Modern Period, the Modern Missions Movement begins with William Carey’s awe-inspiring work in India. From this revolutionary and redefining moment, World Empires, World Missions, World Wars continues to weave together the historic events in the world and in the Church through the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire, the growth of the United States, and the World Wars all the way to the conclusion of the Korean War in 1953 and Jim Elliot’s historic journey in 1956 to the Waodani people of Ecuador. Discover not only the kings and politicians, the artists and musicians, the scientists and inventors, but also the amazing fingerprints of our redeeming God and His people during one of the most tumultuous times in world history.
How does the Bible fit into history?
Can we learn more about ancient cultures than what secular sources provide? Is there a perspective of history, which allows us to see God’s ongoing purpose and plan?
