Pillars of History: The Hebrew Nation, Part IBy Tami Duby, Featuring Graphic Organizers by Dinah Zike, Publisher: Common Sense Press
Using the Bible (Old Testament) as the main text, students will learn about the Hebrew Nation from Creation through Joshua's battle in Joshua 10.
There are 24 weekly lessons with a suggested teaching schedule.
There are symbols to note the three levels of this multi-level study. You
can easily choose projects for the Beginning (non-readers and beginning
readers kindergarten/first grade), Primary (still working to read
fluently-2nd and 3rd grades), and Intermediate levels (4th to 8th grades.)
You will need only this book as the student pages are reproducible for
use by your homeschool, Sunday School, or co-op students.
Like the Great Science Adventures,
Pillars of History uses different Graphic Organizers for
the activities. The graphic organizers use various folds of plain white
paper to create hands-on activities to help your student remember the
lesson.
One version of a graphic organizer is assembled into a Passport Book that
is compiled during this study.
Other activities in Pillars of History: The Hebrew Nation Part 1 include making a Timeline Book, preparing authentic meals, hosting a Palestine Party, creating a mini Hebrew village, and constructing a replica of the Tabernacle.

James Ussher wrote this history of the ancient world in the
1600s. He traveled throughout Europe examining original source
documents. Written in chronological order, Annals of the World
covers history from Creation to the Fall of Jerusalem. You could
read this book cover to cover as an ancient history course. Or you
can use Annals of the World as a reference book to supplement such a
course.
Master Books commissioned Annals of the World,
an important literary work, to be updated from the 17th-century
original Latin manuscript to modern English and made available to
the general public for the first time. In its pages can be found the
fascinating history of the ancient world from the Genesis creation
through the destruction of the Jerusalem temple.
Annals of the World
By James Ussher, Publisher: Master Books Find Out:
- Why was Julius Caesar kidnapped in 75 B.C.?
- Why did Alexander the Great burn his ships in 326 B.C.?
- What really happened when the sun “went backward” as a sign to Hezekiah?
- What does secular history say about the darkness at the Crucifixion?
More Information About Annals of the World from the Publisher
In the years 1650-1654, James Ussher set out to write a
history of the world from creation to A.D. 70. The result
was published in 1658 as the literary classic The Annals of
the World. This famous comprehensive history of the world,
originally published in Latin, offers a look at history
rarely seen. Ussher traveled throughout Europe, gathering
much information from the actual historical documents.
Many of these documents are no longer available, having
been destroyed since the time of his research. Using the
Bible as his timeline, Ussher began with the death of
Nebuchadnezzar as a reliable date and worked backward
through the genealogies of the Old Testament to arrive at
the date of creation - 4004 B.C. Integrating biblical
history (around 15% of the text is from the Bible) with
secular (around 85% of the material is from non-biblical
sources), Ussher wrote this masterpiece. Considered not only
a literary classic, but also an accurate reference, The
Annals of the World was highly regarded for its preciseness
that the timeline from it was included in the margins of
many King James Version Bibles throughout the 18th, 19th,
and 20th centuries, calling to mind the fact that the earth
is only around 6,000 years old. The fact that Ussher’s
chronology has been deleted from Bibles is evidence of the
Church’s backsliding into the deceptive ideas of evolution.
The Annals of the World is a necessary addition to any
church library, pastor’s library, or any library - public or personal.
The entire text has been updated from 17th-century
English to present-day vernacular in a five-year project
commissioned by Master Books. Containing many human-interest
stories from the original historical documents collected by
Ussher, this is more than just a history book - it’s a work
of history.
- Important literary work that has been inaccessible
in book form for over 300 years
- Translated into modern English for the first time
- Traces world history from creation through A.D. 70
- Over 10,000 footnotes from the original text have
been updated to references from works in the Loeb
Classical Library by Harvard Press
- Over 2,500 citations from the Bible and the Apocrypha
- Ussher’s original citations have been checked against the latest textual scholarship
- One of history’s most famous and well-respected historians
- Spent over five years researching and writing this book
- Entered college at age 13
- Received his master’s degree at age 18
- Was an expert in Semitic languages
- Buried in Westminster Abbey
- Fully indexed with numbered paragraphs in
chronological order 8 appendixes
