Travel through five countries in Europe and study the architecture, military history, church history, and literature of Christianity and Western Civilization &mdash all from the comfort of your home!

Vision Forum has recently completed our most ambitious projects to date — the History of Christianity and Western Civilization Virtual Tour and Online Study Course. It’s a study course for high schoolers, an discipleship tool for church leaders, and an adventure to be shared by entire families — all wrapped up into one power-packed resource for those who believe that history really, really matters! And best of all, you can experience this all from the comfort of your own home.

Study the Architecture, Military History, Church History, and Literature of Western Civilization

The best way is to locate and digest the most important books on the subjects and 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? This is why the mission of the 2010 European Virtual History Tour & Online Study Course — to present a powerful interdisciplinary tool for learning that will equip the next generation of leaders to stand with knowledge on the battles fought by the “great cloud of witnesses” which came before us. This is what our team of experts brings you from the fields of Europe as together you study art, architecture, theology, church history, military battles and the cultures which shaped Western Civilization.

Tour Highlights

Doug Phillips, William Potter, and Dr. Joseph Morecraft III — our featured historians and commentators — will lead families on the tour to:

  • Behold the grandeur that was Rome and tunnel through the Catacombs where early Christianity flourished underground
  • Tour the ruins of Pompeii where God’s judgment rained down
  • Take an exhilarating train ride through the Swiss Alps, while learning the story of the long-oppressed, courageous Waldenses
  • Visit Calvin’s Geneva, the epicenter of world-changing reformation in the sixteenth century
