Approaching your student’s history studies using the Holy Bible as your primary spine resource can be difficult. This 88-lesson guide covers the study of the Old Testament (Genesis-Malachi) by guiding students through history using literature. The guide is a resource for teachers, providing commentary to fill your heart and head with the Word and knowledge to share with your students. Possible responses to the ThinkWrite prompts are provided for parents to help guide discussion on these topics. The program can be used purely and simply with just the Holy Bible, however there is an extensive, alphabetized, and grade leveled reading list provided in the appendices in the back of the guide. Your time spent in the guide will depend on you. Students may find a certain area of study more interesting and want to spend more time learning about it, while others can be moved through more quickly. Make a planned schedule before you start and adjust as you need. 298 pgs, spiral. ~Rebecca
TruthQuest History Beginnings: Creation/Old Testament/Ancients/Egypt
Description
- The thrilling plans God set into motion when He placed man and woman as His servants on this planet.
- Focus will be on God revealing Himself to the world through the Israelites and the writing of the Old Testament. We will then meet (and compare) neighboring civilizations which intersected with Israel, such as Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Hittites, Phoenicia, the Canaanites/Philistines, and proto-Greeks. We will even nod to the founding of Rome, but will study Greece and Rome in depth in the TruthQuest History guides dedicated to the deep exploration of those important civilizations.
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!
