Subtitled, “The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations," and written at an 8th-9th grade reading level, this volume's study begins with The War of the Roses (1455) and ends at 1707. This Reader (text) contains 84 history lessons, using a 28-week, three-lesson-per-week format.
Watch history unfold while you meet rulers, painters, sculptors, scientists, and philosophers. History is presented in small, digestible pieces as you learn about the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe, dynasties in India, native Australians, and the Tokugawa family in Japan. In addition to the text material, plentiful illustrative information (maps, charts, art reproductions, and lots of photos) is also included. Key historical people and events (with dates to memorize) include Christopher Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry the VIII, Elizabeth I, William the Silent and the Dutch Revolt, William Shakespeare, Founding of Jamestown, Pilgrims at Plymouth, Louis the XIV, Sir Isaac Newton, and Peter the Great. This text includes the Protestant Reformation (the history, doctrinal and theological disagreements, and heroes from both the Catholic and Protestant groups) and the consequences of this movement. The author, while a Protestant, has made a concerted effort to portray both sides evenly, without attacking either side, but focusing on the historical value and for each family to consider. Included with the purchase of the Reader is an in-text, user-unique, online access code to download the course-required digital PDF Companion Guide. These files include teacher directions, study guides, pre-tests, quarterly worksheets, quizzes, exercises, worksheets, activity instructions (with photos), tests, outline maps, suggested resource lists, appendix pages and more.

The Mystery of History Volume III Student Reader continues the spectacular and provocative study of world history from the viewpoint of a Christian author. Spanning the Renaissance, Reformation, Exploration, and some early American history, this volume explores the backdrop to and the significance surrounding the time-honored contributions found in art, music, literature, science, and philosophy of this rich era.

Volume III is a hardcover text with information divided into semesters, then weeks, and then into three lessons for each of 28 weeks.

These are found in the Companion Guide only.
Volume 3 picks up where Volume 2 leaves off. It begins at 1455 AD and goes through 1707 AD. Watch history unfold around the world during that time period, and see how events fit together. You'll meet rulers, painters, sculptors, scientists, and philosophers. History is presented in small, digestible pieces as you learn about the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe, dynasties in India, native Australians, and the Tokugawa family in Japan. You will understand events in light of the times in which they happened. Best of all, the author shows the role of God throughout history.
A printed Companion Guide is also available to purchase for those preferring a physical copy. Information to access the digital component is included on a separate card included in the textbook. Shrink wrapped.
