World War II, Part I – The European Theater

$250.00

In this ten-week, online course (Thursdays, 4:00-5:00 pm PST, Sept 5 – Nov 7, 2019) we will:

  1. Read and discuss Band of Brothers (by Stephen Ambrose). This is the book that inspired the award-winning series. The book is based on the true accounts of some of the soldiers of the 101stAirborne and their amazing and heart-breaking record of accomplishments in what we call the European Theater.
  2. Discuss the causes, unique aspects, and results of this part of the greatest war in history, focusing particularly on the involvement of the United States. This war altered the history, culture, and political trajectory of the United States for the rest of the 20thcentury.
  3. Consider historical events, arguments, personalities, and facts from both sides that few people actually know. Why did we go to Europe, even though it was Japan that technically brought us in World War II? How did the Great War, the Depression and FDR influence the United States being pulled into another “European” war? What did we accomplish?
  4. Examine what biblical principles and applications can and should be part of understanding this war that cost at least 50,000,000 lives, including over 400,000 Americans.
  5. Meet online once-a-week for an hour. The only ‘homework’ will be to read the assigned portion of the book and be ready to plunge into lively discussion.
