the best at teaching those virtues once reserved for theology--humility in the face of our limited ability to know, and awe in the face of the expanse of human history”. This is another one of Wineburg’s thoughts in regards to history. In other words, history teaches us that we have to be humble and never take anything for granted.

Some examples of historical trauma or intergenerataional trauma are the Holocaust or the occurrence in trauma amongst Native Americans. Recollection of the day the Baltimore
Sometimes history leaves out a few important facts that should be included in such. History within the planning profession shows us that, we too, can forget about those who shaped the profession even without mention. Leonie Sandercock highlights these important lessons that so many before have missed when planning history only focuses on visionaries and public figures who see planning as an activity and who do not merely focus on the process of the profession. Sandercock argues that Peter Hall himself
surveying of the structure, the 4,819-acre plantation it resides upon undergoes archeological evaluations, as well. When conducting an archeological survey archeologist will inspect the surrounding property to look for artifacts that may relate to the history of the structure.

my own ministry. I think that the study of Christian history has much to offer to the praxis of the Church. In modern Christianity, the subject of Christian history is something that is often neglected or if it is addressed it is done mainly during new member enrollment. However, as mentioned in class “Christianity without history and passion is not Christianity” (Hoskin Lecture).

He agrees that history is complex with its ups and downs, its time of trials, and its times of glory. But as every history, it is an unfinished narrative, for us too, with our own confusion, our ups and downs, our time of trials and our time of glory are now becoming part of the story (Gonzalez. pg. 527-28). It is we who, from our own twenty-first century perspective, shape

Herodotus: The Introduction to Keeping the Past Alive Herodotus, the writer of Greek history, otherwise known as “The Father of History” directly apprises about the Athenian and Persian expedition during the Persian Wars. Although Herodotus provides useful information, we find that he is frequently too credulous of what he is told, thus damaging his credibility for being considered a “good” historian. Nonetheless, there are times in which Herodotus distinguishes between the things he himself witnessed
Greek historians credited for documenting history. Not only are Herodotus and Thucydides credited for writing the first accounts of ancient Greek history, but they each shaped the future of historical writing in there own unique ways. The Peloponnesian and Persian wars were both important conflicts that focused on independence. Herodotus earned the designation “The Father of History” because of the way he went beyond just storytelling in explaining history. He has been anointed as the world’s first
