In this study the Church has grown, the Church has fractured, and the Church is widespread in access to the people. Following the Reformation, the spiritual life of the people shifted as the culture of the Church became accessible to the “every-man”. This guide provides 87 lessons, and will walk history and Church history alongside each other to showcase the influence of both on each other. Students will have options in both fictional and historical books to read for additional information. Students will have opportunities to study the Church of England, new colonies, artists, and wars. The ThinkWrite activities are scattered throughout the guide providing opportunities for students to put into words what they are learning. Utilize the book list in the back for students who have a greater interest in individuals and events for further reading. 144 pgs, spiral. ~Rebecca
TruthQuest History: Age of Revolution I (America/Europe, 1600-1800)
Description
- The big ideas of the previous two centuries (during the Renaissance & Reformation) fomented upheaval for society during the 1600s: the Puritan Revolution and Glorious Revolution in England and Scotland, the Thirty Years' War in Central Europe, religious struggles in France, the work of Peter the Great in Russia, and the Scientific Revolution throughout Europe, for example. Even art and music underwent many changes!
- The same roiling issues led the Pilgrims into the Mayflower! But they were not the only ones coming to America. We will watch the entire pageant of New World exploration and settlement (by the English, French, Spanish, Dutch, etc.) in its full context. You'll meet the New World natives who were so impacted, as well!
- The incredible undercurrents of the Renaissance/Reformation and the 1600s rolled right into the 1700s. As truths and untruths were further built upon, deep change came to many nations. Are not the American and French Revolutions proof of that?! Do you know how different they were...and why?! Do you know that the French Revolution has had more impact on the modern world than the American?! But there's so much more to this century: great musicians, scientists, and authors, all caught in the clash of ideas. Indeed, the 'Enlightenment' would spread the strongly humanistic ideas of Voltaire and Rousseau east to Frederick the Great's Prussia and Catherine the Great's Russia, and west to America. What would be the results? Where might we see God's hand? Let's find out!
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!
