Western Civ Review Videos

Some people may not have much background in western civilization. In order to understand the historical currents in which the church is surrounded as the flood of history courses along, and as humanity repeats the same errors as Brooks and Bunyan observed, I think it useful to have a resource to review the times. The professor of these history sketches is to the point and rather amusing. He has 43 videos that are about five or ten minutes each. I will point out a few useful for the reformation period, and a substantial video on Herod's construction projects leading to the time of Jesus from another source. They are rather amazing and give more contrast about the approach of the Lord and that of Herod.
