Year Two
New Testament and Early Medieval
An in-depth study of the New Testament and Early Church history within the Empire of Rome, this volume emphasizes the life and death of Christ as the central point of history. We follow the birth and spread of the Church as the Body of Christ, its perseverance, and its growth through persecutions. The blood of the martyrs truly is the seed of the Church which springs forth into the medieval period of history, spreading to new nations and replacing the Roman Empire with the Holy Roman Empire.

Year Three
High Medieval through Early Explorers
Picking up where Volume Two leaves off, we move into the High Medieval period. This time period is probably the most misunderstood and maligned eras in history. Yet the "Middle Ages" produced some of the most inspiring saints, beautiful cathedrals, paintings, sculptures, and literature, as well as scientific discoveries and inventions that endure to this day. This volume also provides numerous opportunities to learn the truth about the role played by the Church in these fruitful centuries, as well as the tragedy of the Reformation and its aftermath.
