Why History is Important: Part I (Remastered) (A Christian Survey of World History)

In this powerful and far-reaching lecture, R.J. Rushdoony challenges the humanistic view of history and reasserts a thoroughly biblical understanding of the past, present, and future. He argues that all history is guided by God's sovereign hand and cannot be rightly understood apart from Scripture. Contrasting the despair and confusion of modern historians and educators with the confidence of a Christian worldview, Rushdoony shows how faith in God gives meaning, order, and hope to history. This message is a clarion call to Christian families, educators, and leaders to reclaim history as God’s story—and to live their lives as deliberate plans for the future under His law and grace.
