Logic is the way God thinks. Master Books’ Introduction to Logic curriculum for 8th-10th grade homeschool students teaches the principles of correct reasoning from the biblical worldview. Just imagine the world changer your student will become as he or she begins to think and reason the way God does!
We know that God determines the correct way to reason. He is the standard for all truth claims. In this course, students will learn about logic, if faith is contrary to reason, informal logical fallacies, and more.
Learning logical terms and principles is often like learning a foreign language. This course has been developed to help your students learn the practical understanding of logical arguments. To make the course content easier to grasp, the schedule provides worksheets and practice sheets to help students better recognize logical fallacies, as well as review weeks for the quizzes and the final.
Parents love the biblical foundation provided by Dr. Lisle and how it deepens their child’s relationship with God. Many homeschool moms report having their students take this course even if they have already completed a different logic course because of the biblical worldview it offers. Often, parents purchase this course for their own independent study or use it as a family study.

Customer Reviews
This study has short lessons and fantastic discussion points. It truly starts at the beginning - it is a true introduction.
This course is recommended for 8th-12th and I tend to agree. I do think the teacher would benefit from reading the text through prior to beginning with their student to aid in discussion.
There is a Teacher's Guide that accompanies this text - it is not necessary, but it is very useful. It contains an overview of the course, daily schedule, worksheets, and answer key.
Overall, I think this is a well-done, thoughtful approach to logic. And, of course, holding to the standards of Master Books, it is thoroughly rooted in Scripture.
Because learning the terms and principles of a logic course can be like learning a foreign language, this course has been developed to help students learn them via practical understanding of how they work in logical arguments, with helpful real life analogies and diagrams, that help them make sense of unfamiliar terms. BUT this does envolve equations, which means that this course is really made for the Upper Middle to High School student, who have experienced pre-agebra at least, and understand how equations work. Otherwise they can confuse younger students, without a whole lot of explaining by parents.
I would definitely say that even though the chapters are small (4-5 pages each), you might want to stick with the 2 semester course schedule. Each chapter has some pretty in depth discussion and I really think you need one on one discussion with parent or teacher, for better application and learning. And that means that the additional Teacher's Guide for the course is pretty much a must have!
I have taken many Ethics and Logic courses over the years, and I think this is one of the most succinct courses I have seen! Everything your student needs to become a reliable thinker and effective defender of the Truth are here! I would really suggest that ALL High School students take the course as part of their religion component, as it goes hand in hand with Apologetics. Plus the logical reasoning they learn will help them in their math and science classes, and maybe help them write a killer college essay!
It’s fantastic!
