SweetPea Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm looking for a history that goes along with what is happening the Bible. I've not seen this, just know a local private school uses it. Curious about thoughts from those of you who have used it. Thank! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The year 1 schedule incorporates quite a bit of biblical history. However, you can also get that in Mystery of History. We actually used MOH 1 last year, but did the last nine weeks of the Biblioplan schedule since it covered Roman history more thoroughly. Actually, the revised version of Biblioplan integrates MOH as well, so you could use that as your spine. MOH 2 covers quite a bit of church history as well, but, really, once you get passed the Ancients you are "out of" biblical history per se'.

eve Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I used Bibioplan as a basis for middle ages and early modern history and then changed out some of the books and spines. But I did not use it for Ancient History. For Ancient History, we used "Green Leaf Guides" to the Old Testament, Egypt, Greece, and Rome and then filled in China with a great unit study I found. The Old Testament Guide organizes the bible reading chronologically and encourages narration and has good discussion questions. The part that was most helpful for me was that we were encouraged to create a chart of the kings of Israel and Judah and differentiate between the God-fearing and the Wicked kings this was very helpful to keep it all straight. We did this for the whole year and my dd was kept getting so dissapointed when Israel or Her Kings would turn away from the Lord AGAIN. But what an awesome opportunity to point her to the True King of Kings that never failed. The Guide references NT passages when appropriate and served as a good, family friendly way to cover Biblical History. The other Greenleaf guides give information and resources to use in connecting the civilizations around Israel. We found all of these very helpful for our family.

Ali in OR Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 We are happy BiblioPlan users here--starting our third year. We use SOTW as a spine (scheduled in BiblioPlan, but the chapters are in a different order). BiblioPlan adds a 3-week Creation to Jacob unit to begin the year, has a 6 or 7 week Nation of Israel unit between Egypt and Greece, and includes Biblical history while studying Rome also. I like how the units are structured, staying with a particular culture instead of hopping back and forth. We also enjoy the readers that go with BiblioPlan. I feel like we're getting a very complete and well-planned history course. Be aware that there is a lot of reading (don't try to use every resource that is scheduled). Also Biblical history is found only in the first year because that is when it took place on the time line. There is no "Bible study" component in the other years, but you do learn church history in year 2 and study some Christian lives in years 3 and 4.
