World History and the West - Workbook and Digital Resources Combo

This high school course is specifically designed from a Christian perspective for home school education.

What is the legacy of the West? Is it something to be reviled, celebrated, somberly remembered? History is complex and in every civilization, throughout history, the good and bad of humankind have been revealed. This course investigates and evaluates what events have contributed to the development of the West and the society that we live in today.

Through a Christian lens, students will seek to understand what has been God-honouring in the history of the West, and what has been dishounoring to God. This course highlights humankind's quest for freedom, innovation, and courage and also reveals humankind's ultimate need for a Saviour.  

In addition, an introductory unit focused on defining authentic Christianity, cultural Christianity, and political Christianity is provided. "Christianity and the West" is very broad and the division above is utilized throughout the course.
