I was
reading some of the principle approach and worldview posts on one of my loops and thought Id
share what has worked for our family.
I have used
Truth Quest History for the past 5 or so years.
It is an excellent tool to study history chronologically from a Biblical
worldview. I have tried several other
history curricula, but none of them measure up to the content in TQ. Someone was asking for questions to study the
Biblical worldview. Ill share the
questions that I ask my kids as we study societies in history. These are discussed over & over
throughout all TQ guides.
Who is God?
Who, then, is mankind?
These are
the questions that you can ask of any civilization or society to determine
their worldview. We just finished
reading about the Roman empire and discussing
their Big 2 Beliefs. We saw that the
Romans god was the emperor (government).
They truly believed that the emperor would save them. You should read the greeting sent to Augustus
on his birthday, near the time of Christ.
It even uses the words good tidings.
Because of their belief in the emperor/government, they looked to the
government to determine the value of humans.
If the government did not value men, then those guys were
dispensable. Just look at the
gladiatorial games. This is just a very
quick summary of the Romans worldview.
From here, we can compare their worldview with a Biblical
worldview.
For me,
these two questions help us analyze any time period of history to determine
specifics about their worldview. If you
want to read my review of TQ, you can see it at Truth Quest History
