MAIN TEXT: Heritage Studies 2 – 2nd Edition
TITLE: Heritage Studies 2- Working Together in the Colonies
PUBLISHER: Bob Jones UniversityPress COPYRIGHT: 1996
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
The philosophy of History is to empower students with a Biblical worldview of God’s interaction with mankind. History is a systematic study, and careful report, of some portion of human experience, in which an attempt is made to understand the inter-relationships and relative significance of the components of that experience, all with a view to a better understanding of human behavior, character, and destiny. The study of history should include a comprehensive and intensive interaction with major events, developments, patterns, and themes throughout the period, culture, or location at hand, keeping ever before the student both the change and the continuity to be evaluated in said study. As an educational discipline within the framework of a Biblical worldview, historical study rests upon the premise of a three-fold nature of history; namely, that it is intelligible, that it is meaningful, and that it is teleological. Understanding such, the student should be both challenged and encouraged to make the greatest personal contribution to the playing out of history possible.
