In detailing how humanity’s past ideologies and actions have led to the making of today’s world, most world history textbooks omit or downplay the Judeo-Christian contribution. Subsequently, these texts do not reflect the role of providence, leading the student to infer that history at best is a chronology of warring ideologies and at worst an analog of despair. In A History of World Civilizations from a Christian Perspective, Jerry Pattengale, Ph.D., General Editor, challenges this pattern. Drawing upon important Christian scholars from a wide variety of Christian and secular institutions, he presents a Christian perspective of world history, pointing to the dynamic tension between God and man and the ultimate struggle to create meaning in a complex world. This exciting new resource from Triangle Publishing promises to be a notable contribution to the academic world, helping students and teachers alike connect the past to the present in a new and significant way.
