The Great War Follow-Up

If you were present for our Spring Academy Course, "The Great War," or have listened to any of the lectures (The Great War, Lectures and Handouts), you may appreciate this collection of remarkable photos; The Great War --  Photo Essay

Although we spent little time on the War itself (or its major battles), the death and destruction resulting from the largest battles of World War One changed the face of Europe and framed the modern world.  Here's a look at Ten Horrific Battles.   In some of these battles nearly a million soldiers were killed, wounded, or MIA.

Hey, Pastor Kim! How about starting a new section: "The 2016 election in Bible prophecy." You can start with this gem: www.charismamag.com/blogs/prophetic-insight/23916-prophecy-donald-trump-shall-become-the-trumpet

So far, I've remained blissfully ignorant of stuff like this! But I will check it out.

Thanks for the post Dr. Riddlebarger. Even more interesting now having heard your lectures.

I have read it. He's a difficult read and his focus is almost entirely on the UK. But the book is insightful at places and does establish that the shadow of WW1 extends well into the 20th century.
