History, it repeats itself.Such is the subtitle for the campaigns of President-Elect Barak Obama and his hero President Abraham Lincoln. Obama boast of his similarities loudly because of the misinformed public, who credits Lincoln as being a moral, honest, and anti-racial-discriminating individual.Lincoln was from Illinois. Obama grew up in Illinois. Both served, however shortly, in the Ill.

Many believe that Lincoln was a friend to the black people, that he loved them and wanted their oppression to end. This however is not the case in documented history, but merely a bias reconstruction that some historians feel that they must rewrite history. To truly understand the Civil War and the heroes therein you must, yes to be a truly educated person, you must research this topic for

"Whether or not abortion is legal, there will always be some women who participate in it."This statement used to make my blood boil. But, I've come to see some truth in it (although not for the exact same reason as most quoters of that statement). Sinners will still sin to some extent, regardless of what government says. It may be behind closed doors, it may occur less often when government

Hello, dear readers!Anyone who knows me has heard among my list of hopes and dreams, that wish to visit the land of my beloved Dickens and Austen, the fair isle where Narnia was born, the country shaken by Wycliffe, Tyndale, and Wilberforce, and the capitol of the former empire on which the sun never set.Well, it looks like my dream will come true this September, thanks to Jennie Chancey who is

Read Part IThis religion of Islam, that I mentioned, reaches back to the seventh century A.D. A monotheistic religion which shares similarities with Judaism and Christianity has also waged many a conflict with those two religions. Founded by an Arab named Mohammed, a vast Islamic empire stretched across the Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa, Central Asia, Greece and Spain throughout the

Herodotus was a Greek historian who lived shortly after the Greco-Persian Wars during the Golden Age of Greece. He pursued a life-long quest to record the history of those wars and the events that led up to them. His style is quite foreign to the modern mind that expects history to be told from beginning to end, hitting the main points and covering the important characters of history. Instead,

I am currently reading The Histories by the Greek historian Herodotus. In my quest to understand this ancient work, which has very few modern footnotes to help this very modern mind, I have begun a Google Notebook to document and organize my research. In the notebook, I also have begun a list of questions related to the text and time period that I have been unable to find the answers to.

An hour filled with reading is an hour well spent. An hour filled with studying and analyzing the Great Books (or classics) is an hour spent building your worldview. Some may ask, why should a Christian study pagan works like The Odyssey or works such as Mein Kampf that caused so much evil? These are books that changed history, books that reflected on the then current flow of civilization.

This has little to do with history except the fact that it directs what will be our history. Generations later when the children of the future look back onto our generation, this indeed is what they will see.Where does our country place philosophy on it's list of priorities? How highly does it esteem wisdom? If a country disregards wisdom, could it not be said that our country has indeed become

Who wants to pay homage to a god that’s dead? How about trying to follow a myriad of gods? Or, even better, serve yourself as god?Throughout history man's common answer to these questions has been yes. Yes to following Satan’s same-old lies. But because God chose a special people, because mankind has at times replied with a no, history took on some interesting twists and turns. Those twists

As spiritual daughters of the Almighty, dominion keepers, and initiators of current history, it is our duty to study, understand, and record God‘s story of mankind. "Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it." Those who fail to study the religions, philosophies, power structures, literature, technologies, and art forms intertwined with history are doomed to misunderstand it. Those
