Description
This comprehensive study, one of a series cosponsored by the Christian College Coalition, integrates Christian faith with a historical view of Western civilization. Ronald A. Wells clearly outlines the roles of the ancient Greeks and the Hebrews, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the modern world and much more, revealing Western history as seen through the eyes of faith.
Wells illuminates our present situation and examines major debates among historians. He provides a Chris- tian perspective-a "kingdom vision"-that draws to- gether Christian faith and human understanding. The reader is invited to apply the study of history to what "he or she already knows-that the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world are not the same; while we dwell in both for a time, we know which one is com- ing, and which one we should seek first."
