“is an account of facts, pertaining to men and nations, having a cause and effect relationship, producing a chronology, and admitting the observations of the writer.” (Steve Dawson adapted from Webster's 1828 Dictionary)
I might add that Christians believe God in His Sovereignty guides and controls all of History to His own glory and for the good of those who do or will love Him. Biblical or Christian history from the fall looked and pointed to the first coming of Christ, all of history since that time points back to that coming especially the resurrection and at the same time it yearns for the second coming and that time when all creation will be renewed.
