TruthQuest History: Ancient Rome
Description
- The study of Rome offers a unique insight into a civilization built on human power. Their understanding of it led to some excellent governmental and engineering advancements, but without acknowledging God's higher power, the stage was set for tyranny.
- Yet into this mighty realm, came the centerpiece of civilization--Jesus Christ!
- Why then? How did the early church begin to affect the world? Was it affected by the world? Why? You'll see!
- The Roman emperors expected the church to collapse; instead, their empire did. Hmmm. That makes for some interesting history! The reasons must be learned by modern Americans, if a similar collapse is to be avoided.
The goal of the TruthQuest History series is not to guide students through
textbooks, but to guide them through history. Since the guides provide only
basic summaries, many books are recommended; the beauty is that students can
pick whichever ones appeal to them or are readily available. You will be
challenged to think, research, and complete ThinkWrite sections. Responses to
the ThinkWrite sections can be done in a variety of ways including skits,
diaries, news reports, models, projects, drawings, and essays.
For example, Beginnings is a newer title in this series that combines the study of Creation, the Old Testament, the Ancients and Egypt. The Bible is the ultimate authority on history, but the author suggests some other key books that may be referenced throughout the study - Child’s Story Bible, Genesis: A Commentary for Children, Story of the Ancient World, Book of the Ancient World, Streams of Civilization Vol. 1, Genesis: Finding Our Roots, and Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament. May your study of history become a study of His Story!
