Why Study the History of the Bible?
The history of the Bible is, ultimately, very close to the history of Christianity itself, although it is a subset of that history. We wrote this unit study because of our belief that Christians should know their own history. Only by understanding the historical context and the journey to the Bibles that sit on our bookshelves today can we really understand the weight of this book. By understanding its history, we realize how valuable its presence is in our own lives. By understanding this story, we learn to care about the need for Bibles around the world. This study specifically follows the story of the English Bible. We hope to, in the future, create a second study that tells the adventurous tales behind the Bibles that exist in other world languages today!
Understanding the history of the Bible also prevents misconceptions and misunderstandings. Many college students and young adults who were raised in the church experience immense frustration when they come across ideas about the Bible that they have never heard of. Somehow, we are raising our children to know Bible stories without knowing where the book itself came from. By understanding the journey to the Bible of today, we can appreciate the truth it contains all the more.
What age level is this for?
This unit study is targeted toward a 3rd-8th grade age range, although it can be used family-style. Students should be independent and confident readers in order to complete the student workbook pages on their own, although younger student could complete workbooks together with a parent or older student. The information in this study will be challenging and interesting for many high schoolers, however, we do not include research or long-form written assignments, and because of that, we do not designate this as a study that requires enough work for a for-credit class in high school.
What's Included:
- 80 pg. Teacher's Guide, containing 12 lessons written to be read aloud to students, as well as several Visual Cards to be used with each lesson. These half-page visual cards can be passed around from one student to another.
- Recommended Book List: No extra books are necessary to complete this study, but we include several picture and chapter book recommendations, because nothing replaces the experience of reading a book that is pertinent to the topic. This book list is included in the Teacher's Guide.
- Each lesson includes oral review questions, and suggestions for discussions and extension activities to go along with the lesson's topic.
- 40+ Page Student Book, containing notebooking pages for each lesson, as well as worksheets that connect the historical topic to classical languages, theology, geography, grammatical concepts, and more.
Page Count: 120+ pages
For best results, open with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and print from that program. Both the Teacher's Guide and the Student Workbook can be printed double-sided. For best results, be sure to print the Visual Cards double-sided.
