World Studies (4th ed.) will take students on a journey through time, beginning with the Old Testament covenants and the birth of the Church and continuing with the rise of Islam and a survey of nations around the world from about 1,000 A.D. to the present. Designed to inspire students to see history through a biblical worldview and learn from the successes and mistakes of the past, the World Studies Subject Kit contains the six items necessary for teaching the course successfully: the student text, the teacher’s edition, the tests, the test answer key, and the student and teacher’s activity manual.
