Universal History 🗺️
A Universal History is an attempt to identify connections and patterns among events and thereby establishes the coherence of history as a whole.
Or to paraphrase Richard Rohlin (per the medieval worldview of history):
[This] worldview of history is not as a series of accidents and causes but a battle between good and evil in which the most important event has already occurred, namely, the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ
