Is there a Christian approach to teaching history?


In a Christian school history is taught as His story! It is the unfolding of God's wonderful plan of redemption! Some Christian parents believe that history is history – that the worldview or perspective of the author really makes no difference. Let’s see…

Without God in control, history is either controlled by autonomous man or by an impersonal process or fate or kismet or chance. So, we can see no themes, patterns or purposes for human history; just a lot of people waging war on each other in the quest for power or wealth.

However, if we see human history through the lens of Scripture and believe that God Himself is omnipotent and orchestrating events for a greater good, we now have a larger view to see God’s purposes in history.

Find a school like URCS that teaches that human history is a part of God’s redemptive plan for the world. You and your child will be glad you did!

Grace and Peace,
Ed
