Course Description:	We will be using The Mystery of History, Volume III, to dive into a historically accurate, Christ-centered approach to the time period of “The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations”, studying 1455 to 1707. This class will utilize both reading and project based learning to bring history to life as we study. My goal is to preserve a love for learning how God’s story has intersected with history.
