Overview

For Grade Level 9-12

As long as Christian liberal arts programs fail to engage the challenges to Christianity in the battle of ideas, they play a part in the continuing decline of the faith in the Western world. It is extremely dangerous to accept the “great” thinkers and writers uncritically, whether it be Karl Marx, Ralph Waldo Emerson, or Nathaniel Hawthorne. The great thinkers and the liberal arts programs have influenced millions of young people to abandon the Christian faith over the centuries.

Every Christian student should be familiar with the ideas and the writings that have formed the modern world and that subsequently undermined the Christian foundations in the West. However, young people must also be well-versed and well-equipped to engage in the battle of worldviews before they graduate from high school or college. That is why this curriculum is so desperately needed.

Features: Each suggested weekly schedule has two easy-to-manage lessons that combine reading, worksheets, and vocabulary-building opportunities. Worksheets, quizzes, and tests are perforated and three-hole punched — materials are easy to tear out, hand out, grade, and store. Adjust the schedule and materials needed to best work within your educational program. Space is given for assignments dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. Adapt the days to your school schedule.

Workflow: Students will read the pages in their book and then complete each section of the Teacher Guide. They should be encouraged to complete as many of the activities and projects as possible as well. Tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade. If used with younger students, they may be given the option of only choosing activities or projects of interest to them and taking open book tests.

Lesson Scheduling: Space is given for assignment dates. There is flexibility in scheduling. For example, the parent may opt for a M–W schedule rather than a M, W, F schedule. Each week listed has four to five days. Adapt the days to your school schedule. As the student completes each assignment, he/she should put an “X” in the box.

This course presents a basic survey and a critical analysis of the philosophers, the literary masters, and the cultural influencers of the last 300 years for the Christian student. In contrast with other literature courses, this text is filled with relevant biblical references and truths that will equip the student to address the false worldviews contained in the “great” humanist works of this era.

Wonderful high school course
Review by Kathleen
This course teaches students to approach false, non-Christian worldviews with a critical eye. Through this course, students will be able to equip themselves with Christian doctrines to help defend their faith in the real world. The suggested weekly schedule has easy-to-manage lessons that guide the reading, worksheets, and all assessments. I especially like how this is scheduled for 3 days a week. It gives the student time to dig deeper into any area that they want. I recommend this book to go along with the Worldviews in Conflict student text book.
Very good!
Review by Candice
This is a much needed topic to cover today among Christian families. It always has been a big topic, but the need for it lately just feels very great and pertinent. It's a good way to bring up great conversations!
Simple, Easy to Use Companion
Review by Christina
This teachers guide is an excellent companion to the textbook. Easy to follow and makes answering and grading so much easier. Has a complete weekly schedule divided into days to make it easy to fit this course into a manageable workload. Vocabulary, study, application, and critical thinking questions as well as essay assignments are all included. Exams are also included. I am excited to be planning to use this with my Grade 11 next year,
A Must-Have High School Resource!
Review by Cristina, A Homeschool Mom
I can't imagine a more well thought out guide to worldview for high school students. Through use of engaging topics, use of classic literature and modern media, Worldview in Conflict is exceptional in every way. I know we'll be using this curriculum in order to better prepare our students for the world in which we live.
Must have
Review by Paola
Once again, having a teacher's guide has been a life saver. First, I don't have to stress and spend time creating worksheet, quizzes or exams or topics for essays, it's all done for me. Also, It continues to help my daughter and developing and strengthening her independence and time management skills. completing the worksheets helps her develop those critical thinking skills she so much needs to be prepared for the outside world.
