BIBLE AND ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
Using Diana Waring’s "Ancient Civilization and the Bible", this will be a fast-paced study of ancient history that will come ALIVE with Bible history! Your students will explore Creation, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the rise of civilizations from Egypt to Rome. They will see God's purposes worked out through His chosen people, Israel, culminating in the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. This class will spend a few weeks on each topic covered and there are 9 topics. The topics are explored thru reading the Student Manual and then doing research reports, maps mapping, timeline, vocabulary, culture focus and creative expression. Students will have some flexibility in their study pursuit of each topic. The outline and schedule will be adapted to highlight events in the 14 week semester format.
