The whole year

This unit comes from Bible: Church History, Pentecost to the Present, a tenth-grade year of church history, two thousand years told with the failures in rather than left out.

Online, this becomes the full course, the same lessons taught one to one to your child rather than printed, alongside the rest of the year. Every Bible course in the curriculum is published in full on the Bible curriculum page, so you can read the whole thing before you decide anything.
