Volume I: The Ancient World begins the journey, covering the time periods from the dawn of history and the early nomads to the conversion of Emperor Constantine. Students will learn what life was like in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece, Rome, and more, as well as learn the Old Testament stories of the Israelites and the coming of Christ. The strength of the content lies not only in the storybook delivery of it, but also in the way it presents history through the faithful prism of the Church. Here, you’ll have the trusted resource you’ve always wanted to help your students learn about world history from a Catholic perspective.
