Ancient Israel made enduring cultural contributions to Western ethical and religious literature and thought. The California History-Social Science Framework emphasizes that students “should read and discuss Biblical literature that is part of the literary heritage and ethical teachings of Western civilization; for example, stories about the Creation, Noah, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, the Exodus, the Ten Commandments, Ruth and Naomi, David, and Daniel and the Lion’s Den; selections from the Psalms and Proverbs; and the Hebrew people’s concepts of wisdom, righteousness, law and justice.”
The birth of Christianity occurred in Ancient Israel. Today, over a third of the world’s population (over two billion) worship some form of Christianity and it is important that those in western society learn the circumstances in which it started.
Students need to appreciate the enormous contribution made by Ancient Israel to present day society. It is crucial that students learn this in ways that relate to their mindset and our material facilitates this. Through an experiential approach students feel and think what it was like to live in Ancient Israel. They achieve this, in part, through stories which include “Abraham”, “Joseph, son of Jacob”, “Moses”, “The Covenant”, “David meets King Saul”, “Solomon King of Israel”, “Esther”, “Judah Maccabee”, “Story of the Dead Sea Scrolls” and “The Life of Jesus” while students act the drama “The Trial of Jesus”.
