Description
Marco Polo was the most famous traveler of his time (late 1200s) and is still well-known for his many voyages. He wrote this account of his travels, and it gives a glimpse of the different societies he encountered (religions, customs, way of life, etc.), as well as treasures like the spices and silks of the East, exotic vegetation, and wild beasts. There are stories about a holy shoemaker, a wicked caliph and three kings, and much more. This Penguin Classics edition was translated with an introduction by Ronald E. Latham. 384 pgs, pb.
Category Description for Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries
The second study in this series covers AD30 to AD1799, also known as Resurrection to Revolution. This edition covers from the Roman Empire to the French Revolution, when God is turning the tides of human destiny in miraculous ways. The church of Jesus Christ explodes throughout the world; uncharted regions are explored, distant cultures are united, religious wars burst into flame; technology, medicine, philosophy and art sweep nations into bitter turmoil and proud independence. Through it all, God is moving behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes, inviting kings and peasants alike into His kingdom.
