Most students know episodes. This course is built so they can tell the story: world history through the arc of the Bible, from the first cities to the present, with empires as the main characters — Assyria to Babylon to Persia to Greece to Rome — and the skill to give an overview of the major themes from beginning to now. Scripture is a participant in that history, not a sidebar.
