Christian Worldview Curriculum
Mini-review by Harriet Yoder Arm yourselves! You know the media is biased that there are some strange ideas
floating around out there. Since you have decided to teach
your children at home, you may want to incorporate a study of the
Christian worldview (aka Biblical worldview). The authors of
the Worldviews in Focus series are David A. Noebel, president and
co-founder of Summit Ministries, and Chuck Edwards, an instructor
and writer for Summit Ministries. Summit Ministries is a
Colorado Springs-based training center that teaches Christians to
think and act in keeping with the biblical worldview. The
series is well done with easy to use formatting. I liked the
additional reading lists for each chapter. Thus, if your
student likes a particular chapter, you can find some meaty reading
to supplement the curriculum. Two courses are available in the
Worldviews in Focus series.
Thinking Like a
Christian explores ideas that shape our culture and appropriate Biblical
responses. The
Countering Culture course equips your high school student to take a reasoned
Biblical stand now and in the college setting. Though the
Christian worldview curriculum
on this page is recommended for high school and up, you may want to
do this along with your junior high students. If you are a
public school graduate, you will probably learn a few things
yourself. Another book which is useful in a study of Christian
Worldview is Assumptions That
Affect Our Lives by Christian Overman. It traces the foundations of Western
thought back to two opposing traditions: the ancient Greeks and the ancient
Hebrews.

Are your
children prepared to defend
their faith in a world that, in
most cases, presents ideas
contrary to their biblical
beliefs? Thinking Like a Christian is a 12-week curriculum
that teaches about the ideas that are
shaping our culture and Biblical responses. The
Christian worldview is explained
in these
10 disciplines: theology,
philosophy, biology, psychology,
ethics, sociology, law,
politics, economics, and
history.
There are several independent teaching tracks in Thinking Like a Christian:
homeschool, group settings for youth and adults, and college level. Included are
discussion ideas, skits, interactive segments and reproducible
handouts. On the CD-rom, these supplements are nicely
organized into files. The homeschool file was thoughtfully
done with homeschooling in mind!
Paperback with a CD-rom.
If you are planning to use this as a course
for your student, I would recommend using the accompanying
student journal and the video:

"Countering Culture equips
Christians to take a
reasoned stand for
biblical principles
in the classroom as
well as in the
boardroom. By
understanding
non-biblical
worldviews,
Christians gain a
deeper appreciation
of how to draw
non-believers to
what to know more
about what Christ
offers."
This 12-week study complements and expands
the Thinking
Like a Christian study. Countering Culture focuses on the ideas of Secular
Humanism,
Neo-Marxism, and New
Age and works to prepare your
student for the
college setting and
to
present a biblical
worldview for
everyday living.
For
homeschoolers, the Countering Culture curriculum is a
complete 12-week
study with daily
assignments, weekly
projects, and
interactive times
with parents. Also
included on the CD,
are additional
midterm and final
exam weeks. You can use this
study to fulfill
high school credits
in civics,
economics,
philosophy, or
sociology.
In
addition, there are
three other teaching
tracks besides the
homeschool track: youth group or
classroom, college,
and adult studies. The books are in paperback
with CD-rom.
