Mystery of History Volume 1 2nd Edition

Purchase Mystery of History Volume 1 2nd Edition

From Ancient Civilizations to the time of Christ, this work contains projects, quizzes, lessons and answer keys for grades 4 - 8.

This classical approach will help you see things like what was going on in the world while Moses was busy leading the Israelites and how God has orchestrated it all to bring about His complete plan.

Where most ancient studies encompass only Egypt, Greece, and Rome, The Mystery of History goes much farther.  In Volume I,  chronological based stories from all around the world are included.  Beginning with the Garden of Eden, stories will spread from Sumer and Babel to Troy, Phoenicia, and Assyria.  The study of early civilizations will include King Wu of China and Asoka of India as well as King David, Julius Caesar, and Xerxes of Persia.  Even North America is visited in this look at ancient peoples. 

Above all, a favorite feature of Volume I is the weaving of Bible history with world history.  In reality, it is all world history.  But for most of us, history has not been taught this way.  It has not been integrated.  In The Mystery of History, major stories are retold  from the Bible in the order that they happened alongside significant world history events and figures.  As an example, each one of the Old Testament prophets are given a biographical lesson near their contemporaries in old world history.    

More examples of interesting figures who lived just decades apart include:  Joshua and King Tut; Ruth and Helen of Troy; Daniel and Aesop; Ezekiel and Buddha; and Nehemiah and Socrates.  Imagine lining up such amazing figures on one master timeline!  Imagine learning their stories back to back in the order they happened!  For most of us, it's an illuminating experience. A required resource is the Historical Atlas of the World from Rand McNally.

Mystery of History Volume 2 :
The Early Church and the Middle Ages -- This volume provides a historically accurate, Christ-centered approach to learning the history of the early Church through the Middle Ages. The completely chronological lessons span the continents to shed new light on who walked the earth when and how God revealed Himself to mankind during this pivotal period of history. (Though highly recommended, it is not necessary for students to complete Volume I before experiencing Volume II). Be it a lesson from Germany, China, Zimbabwe, or Iceland, the author leads students to all corners of the globe in the order that major events occurred there. For example, students will discover that soon after St. Patrick delivered the gospel to Ireland, the Western Roman Empire fell in Europe; Mohammed introduced Islam to the world about a decade after King Arthur rode with his knights; the Vikings ravaged parts of Europe while the Maori settled New Zealand; and Joan or Arc tragically burned at the stake while the Inkas (Incas) were building their golden empire in South America!
