World History Student Edition, 6th ed.

The student edition helps students trace major events, civilizations and cultures—including early empires, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment. Students will also explore civilizations across Africa, Asia, and the pre-colonization Americas, as well as empires in Africa, India, and Asia. It encourages students to see how historical patterns point to the triumph of God’s kingdom and equips them to engage today’s culture through document-based analysis, historical research, digital literacy, and 21st-century skills. Each chapter includes reading checks, critical thinking questions, and reviews to support understanding and reflection.
