Product Information

n a day when most history books and textbooks
are written with a secular bias, this book
by Albert Hyma is clearly refreshing. While it
does not contain the very most recent history, it
covers history up to 1939 very well. It does not
contain the Anti-Christian bias that is so common
in books today. Hyma, at the time we met
him in 1964 was a full professor of history at
the University of Michigan.
''The author is trying to fill the urgent demand
on the part of devout Christian parents
who feel that their children need not any longer
be exposed to a pagan or at least a materialized
conception of world history. Although no proof
has been found for the evolutionary account of
early man and his environment, practically all
the textbooks now in use take for granted that t
he Biblical narrative is entirely false and that t
he Christian religion is based on legends. It has
been a source of great disappointment to many
Christian educators to observe how our public
schools have gradually adopted paganized versions
of world history.
There are 60 chapters in this book, beginning
with the Creation and the Fall of Man. He
proceeds from Eden to the Flood. He gives the
story of ancient Babylonia, then the story of ancient
Egypt the Hebrews, the Phoenicians, the
Assyrian empire, the Babylonians, the civilization
