CHANGING LIVES - NOT JUST TEACHING FACTS
The Emergence of Christianity
Key Moments – Key People – Key Ideas
Understanding the "key moments" of the past gives us understanding of our present. Understanding our present gives us wisdom for making decisions which may influence the future. While other history prgorams detail such key moments, World Views of the Western World goes one step further. In order to understand world views it is necessary to associate the key moments with the thinking, that is, the thoughts and ideas, the world views of the people who shaped and directed those moments. It is not enough to know the important dates and events of history. We must always be drawing our understanding back to the basic way of looking at life – the world view – held by those men and women who shaped our past. If our children are to have any hope of standing firm in Christ in the post-modern society in which they live, they must study World Views of the Western World.
