In this groundbreaking work, prominent historian Ronald A. Wells integrates Christian faith with a historical view of Western civilization. By clearly outlining the cultures of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern world, Wells illuminates our present situation and explores the major debates among historians today. The author invites the reader to apply the study of history to what "he or she already knows—that the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world are not the same; while we dwell in both for a time, we know which one is coming, and which one we should seek first."
This comprehensive study, one of a series cosponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, addresses questions faced by Christian students as they explore the history of Western civilization.
