Christ the King, Lord of History Textbook & Workbook Set
By Dr. Anne W. Carroll · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Christ the King, Lord of History presents a fast-paced, engaging, and distinctly Catholic approach to world history. Written by renowned historian Dr. Anne W. Carroll, this acclaimed textbook demonstrates that Christ is not merely a figure within history but the central figure of history itself. Through a clear and compelling narrative, students gain a deeper understanding of how the Catholic Church has shaped civilizations, cultures, and the course of human events throughout the centuries.
Unlike many modern history texts that minimize or overlook the influence of Christianity, Dr. Carroll unapologetically highlights the profound role of the Catholic Church in forming Western civilization and preserving truth, culture, and learning. Historical developments are examined through the lens of faith, allowing students to see the rise and fall of nations in relation to their embrace or rejection of Christian principles.
Complementing the textbook is a comprehensive workbook designed to reinforce learning and encourage mastery of key concepts. With over fifty questions for each of the book's thirty chapters, students are challenged through a variety of exercises that promote retention, critical thinking, and deeper engagement with the material. Together, the textbook and workbook provide a complete Catholic history curriculum ideal for classrooms and home education alike.
