This Seminar will explain why teaching history is a biblically mandated discipline for which parents are responsible. They need to be especially clear about American history and the history of Western Civilization, of which it is a part and the chief inheritor. The Bible provides a number of sobering examples of the failure to pass on to the succeeding generation their heritage.

This seminar will survey the military history in the Bible. We will examine the weapons (some of them of massed destruction!) and interesting campaigns of Israel, Assyria, Babylonia and Egypt from a perspective not often pursued in biblical studies. We will also look at the Roman army as it appeared in the New Testament.
