Description

The Mystery of History Volume II (AD 30 - 1456) picks up where the story of Volume I leaves off - at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the first lesson, this volume addresses Acts 1:8 with the promise of the Father to send the Holy Spirit: the Day of Pentecost. From there, the history of the Early Church really begins. It is not an easy history to digest. It was amid trials, persecution, and martyrdom that the magnificent story of Jesus Christ spread.

Volume II expands on the fall of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages that followed. This text delves into the chivalry of knights and damsels, kings and queens, and the peasants who faithfully served them. Students visit Vikings and villains; castles and crusades; and the poetry of Dante and Chaucer.

Beyond Europe, this volume examines the life of Mohammed and the spread of Islam along with the rise and fall of dynasties in Japan and China. In Africa, Volume II looks at the Coptic (Egyptian) Church and Great Zimbabwe in the south. Your students will unveil the rituals of the Aztecs and the gold of the Incas in Peru -- and in two distant corners of the earth, at nearly the same time, the peoples of New Zealand and Greenland emerge into our view of world history.

All along the way, Volume II of The Mystery of History shows the work of God as He ministers through missionaries like Columba, St. Patrick, and Cyril. We see the struggles within the church as it grows, expands, and threatens the authority of emperors and kings. This volume concludes with the tragic death of Joan of Arc, the fall of Constantinople, and the invention of the printing press which spreads the Word of God across Europe.

You won’t find these significant and amazing stories packaged together just anywhere. The Mystery of History has compiled a vast amount of research for you, so that you and your students are free to absorb this history and explore the untold mysteries in between.
