More about This Experiencing History Homeschool Course
History is the human perception of God’s actions and intentions in the field of human activity. Only the redeemed mind, saturated in God’s thoughts through his Holy Word, can realistically approach a true representation of His acts and ways through time.
There is no area of history so challenging to the historian as the ancient period that spans from the beginning of the world through the period of the Roman Empire. There are special problems, particularly with dates, ranging from the eighth to ninth centuries BC and back—the period around what is often called the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age. Generally, the more remotely one goes back in time, from the so-called ancient Dark Age toward the beginning of the world, the less precision one finds in dates and time periods.
Events suffer in these remote periods because histories after the order of what we call modern historiography are virtually absent. In recent years, archaeology has arisen to fill in some of the gaps, but unfortunately, archaeology has been self-advanced by its experts and advocates to a “science” and has pushed down the credibility (unfairly) of ancient written records in favor of modern speculations on artifacts and archaeological digs. The result has been the debilitation of meaning coming out of the most ancient historical periods, which is easily filled in by modern theories.
This homeschool history course attempts to begin a series of movements aimed at the restoration of ancient history to the Sovereignty of God and a reclamation of the art of history back into the hands of the citizen-artisans in the inexorable Kingdom of Christ.
