Description
Understanding history is crucial for Christians as it shapes their views of God, Christ's redemption, and humanity. In this book, Vern S. Poythress teaches Christians how to study the past by emphasizing God's command to remember his works and share them with future generations.
Through exploring concepts such as providentialism, Christian historiography, divine purpose, and the 4 basic phases of biblical history, readers will learn how to write about history in a way that glorifies God. By studying history, believers can begin to recognize God's lordship over all events and understand how even minor incidents fit into his overarching plan.
This book provides an excellent resource for seminary students, pastors, and historians, offering practical guidance on how to explore history in the Bible and connect it with Christ's redemption. By applying these principles, readers can deepen their understanding of God's deeds throughout history.
