Spring Semester Bible 9 will continue where we left off last semester and apply key Biblical principles in everyday life in the 21st Century World.  This semester we will discover greater truths in the Word of God through history and geography.  Bible 9 students will learn about some of the ancient lands and several modern nations, including the United States, and how God of the Scriptures has shaped history, cultures, and individuals.  In addition to the Bible, we will use other texts (such as geography books), maps, charts and graphs.  The main goal will be to discover how “His Story” has always shaped history in the past and today.
