Description
Embark on an exciting journey through Apologia’s Live Class: World History: A Journey Through HIS-Story, exploring history from Creation to modern-day events through a Christian perspective. This course provides a comprehensive look at the development of civilizations, the rise and fall of empires, and the pivotal events that have shaped the world. We will begin by examining how history is studied and recorded, including the methods of archaeology, dating techniques, and the significance of the written record. Along the way, we’ll uncover the hand of God in the unfolding of history, gaining a deeper understanding of His purpose and plan through the ages. This is more than a study of the past—it’s an opportunity to see how history informs our faith and shapes our future.
