Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Was wondering if anyone knows of a history/bible curriculum that uses the Bible as the core. I want to follow through the Old Testament and chronologically work our way through using our Chronological Bible but want to incorporate history and literature as we go along. Does anyone know of a set out plan that would help me go about this? Thanks in advance! Looking for MS/HS ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Veritas does not do chronologically with the Bible it only does parts of it. We used to do Omnibus. But thanks anyway! Will google Students of the Word...never heard of it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 We have done VP through elementary ages. I was looking for something where the spine is the Bible and trying to tie in the history time periods along with the Bible. I hope that makes sense....just trying to find history that goes along with our Bible readings as we study and go through the entire OT. I will look into Paula's Archives never heard of that but maybe that would be a place to start. We want to go in depth in our Bible study next year not just reading some like VP or others has it done. For instance I wanted to go into Israel's history, Persia's reign, Assyria, Babylonian etc. Maybe I'll go through my VP OT cards again for ideas. Thanks for your help!

SilverMoon Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I can't think of one that wraps history the other way around. You'll probably have to build it yourself. The David Downs books (Unveiling the Kings of Israel, Unwrapping the Pharoahs) could get you started running history alongside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've never used it, but Foundations Press on CurrClick does that for history, I think. It takes 2 years to go through what SOTW vol 1 covers. And it's not complete--years 3 (Middle Ages) and 4 (Modern Times) aren't published yet. It also doesn't have included literature. http://www.currclick.com/product/72297/From-Ancient-Times-Creation-to-Assyria http://www.currclick.com/product/82554/Daniels-Statue-Babylon-Persia-Greece-and-Rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks for the 2 ideas....I just purchased those David Down books and was figuring I'd have to build my own. I have seen Foundations Press but dont know much about it. Will check into that too...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofabcd Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Foundations Press has samples on their website www.foundationspress.com. There is a list of book choices for jr. high and high school ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The first two or three guides from Simply Charlotte Mason use the Bible as history. After that, the Blble is included in the lesson schedule. They rely on a lot of narration, oral or written, and it is easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I commented on your post in the High School group but I also wanted to recommend the Foundations Press curriculum. I have Foundations Bible 1-3 and they are fabulous! I plan to use Foundations 1 along with the Foundations World History 1 with my 6th and 8th graders next year (possibly my 4th grader as well).

Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had seen them and looked at the samples but didn't see that they were very thorough. However if I combine both maybe it would cover more what I was hoping for at least it would be a start. Does the bible and history coincide? Thanks so much for your help!

Homeschoolmom3 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 I did look at the Charlotte Mason ones but it didn't look like you read through the whole OT do you know if it does? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2blessings Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you don't mind a 6yr history cycle: http://simplycharlottemason.com/planning/curriculum-guide/ The guidebook is very mom friendly (and cheap!) It takes 3 years to get through ancients because the OT is covered at same time. Great program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Father's World Creation to Greeks for 4th - 8th graders (2nd / 3rd can join in), and their 9th grade program, AHL, do exactly what you are describing. The Bible is used as a spine for CTG and AHL for 9th grade goes through every word of the OT as a history spine. Both programs use the Bible as the spine and then bring the other history into it. I have used Veritas some as well, and it is different than the 'Bible as a spine' that MFW puts into their ancient history programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeschoolmom3 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I liked Foundations Press but the history and Bible I am looking for don't go hand in hand....I ended up going with Simply Charlotte Mason Genesis- Deut. & attempting to finish the Joshua-Malachi one as well since I can do all my kids with it. I like MFW but for the price and simplicity I chose SCM. Thanks for all your suggestions!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
