COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an introductory study in world history covering major world events and cultures from first century A.D. up until the present. Throughout this course students will be able to trace God’s providential hand directing the rise and fall of civilizations and empires to bring about His sovereign purposes. During this course students will be privileged to see how all history is predetermined, ordered and directed by God for the establishment of His gracious kingdom, for the preservation of His Word through successive generations, and for the ingathering of His elect church from every tribe, people, and nation. In addition to the historical and geographical knowledge base that students will gather from this course, they will also be incited to becoming conscientious and reflective citizens who critically evaluate their actions, effectively communicate ideas, make informed decisions, and demonstrate the values of purity, justice, honesty, love, and godliness.
