The author addresses challenges that the famous artists faced, but, by customer input, does not delve into specific immoral behaviors that families are not yet ready to address.

No. The author added only modest examples of Renaissance artwork to this volume. For notoriety, the famous nude statue of David by Michelangelo is included, but only from the waist up.

While the author is a Protestant, she does not condemn the modern Roman Catholic Church. She steers students to the historical struggle and religious wars between Protestant Reformers and those remaining loyal to the established Medieval Church. The author shares the positive and negative reactions of both sides of the break in Christendom with biblical insights supporting doctrinal issues that were at stake. Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant families successfully use The Mystery of History for world history—and detour where needed to support differing views that may arise.
