About the Event
Travel through five countries all across Europe and study the architecture, military history, church history, and literature of Western Civilization — from the comfort of your home!
To be a well-educated Christian, you need to know the history of the Church. You need to have a keen sense of the players, the battles, the literature, and the reforms that helped to build Christendom and Western Civilization. But how do you synthesize all that information in a way that makes sense of the men and the movements, the battles and the books, the saints and their stories at the forefront of God’s providential plan for history?
The best way is to travel to the great locations with experts on the subject who will bring a distinctively Christian perspective as they guide you through the most important lessons of history. But what if you could do all of that — and yet never leave your living room?
