It can't be avoided when the history textbook itself often refers to the Bible. One example is when we are studying the Assyrian Empire. When Sennacherib was besieging Jerusalem, his army was mysteriously defeated by some kind of plague. This is recorded in the "Assyrian Chronicles" as well as the Bible. The Bible's interpretation of the events is that a destroying Angel was sent through the camp of the Assyrians. Even though I tell the students that the Bible gives the theological interpretation of the event, that the event actually happened is shown by the Bible as well as Assyrian records. This is not in doubt. I already refer to the Bible when teaching my world history course in an Oklahoma public school. It can’t be avoided when the history textbook itself often refers to the Bible.
