The Mystery of History: Vol II, 2nd Edition provides a historically-accurate, Bible-centered approach to learning about the Early Church and the Middle Ages from Pentecost to the printing press! The completely chronological lessons span the continents to shed new light on who walked the earth when God revealed Himself to mankind during this pivotal period of history.
Combines Biblical & Secular History
As they read the Bible, Christians tend to forget that other civilizations were warring, struggling, and searching for truth. Therefore, this history program is written with combined Biblical and secular history. While decidedly Christian in bent, other cultures and faiths are presented with deference. The Mystery of History: Vol II is written in a conversational style for elementary through high school students. But it can also be used as a read-aloud with younger children.
Multi-Age Activities
Not just a textbook, Volume II includes a digital (as a download code) Companion Guide. This Companion Guide is brimming with multi-age activities, hands-on activities, and research projects for younger, middle, and older students. It also includes memory card ideas, bi-weekly quizzes, exercises, timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists, etc. This option is particularly beneficial for families with younger students in elementary and middle grades.
84 Lessons
The user-friendly format presents three lessons per week with hands-on activities, quizzes, tests, a weekly timeline, mapping assignments, and supplemental reading and resource list. Written for 4th- to 5th-grade reading level for independent reading. However, as a read-aloud, family study, or classroom program, The Mystery of History can accommodate grades 1-12. Is your family ready to study history in an in-depth, Bible-centered, chronological fashion? Then The Mystery of History is for you. Volume I is not a prerequisite but is highly recommended.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this product below:
One difference between the two series is their target age. The Story of the World is primarily for elementary students, with Volume I recommended for 1st through 4th grade and Volume IV for 4th through 8th grade. The Mystery of History's reading level begins at about 4th or 5th grade in Volume I and progresses to 10th or 11th grade in Volume IV, although it is easily adaptable for multiple ages.
Another key difference is the religious perspective. The Story of the World aims to narrate from a neutral perspective. It covers major religious characters and historical events but does not endorse a particular religious view. The Mystery of History is written from a clearly Christian perspective and integrates biblical and church history into the text.
A minor difference between the two series is the student work involved. The Story of the World revolves around the narrative, so all activities, while engaging, are optional. The Mystery of History is also narrative-based but expects more student work. Nonetheless, it is highly adaptable to each student's age and family preferences.
