Description
Exploring the big worldview questions about God, the universe, people, truth, and right and wrong, this series allows students to seek answers through a biblical perspective. It’s so important for each of us to apply biblical principles to our lives as we think and make decisions that align to God’s Word, and this program teaches students to live out their faith. Christianity in Action is divided into two sections – Worldview and Bible Survey. Worldview focuses on cultural engagement and life application of the Christian worldview within the disciplines of theology, philosophy, ethics, psychology, sociology, biology, and history. Bible Survey is centered around the Epistles. The components of this course include a Teacher Manual, Student Text, and Student Workbook. Each component can be sold separately or in a package. There are a total of 136 daily lessons.
The Teacher Manual teaches Worldview in the first unit and Bible Survey is covered in the second unit. Each lesson is broken down into several days. Every day lists a lesson background with easy-to-follow instructions. Teacher instructions include use of Blackline Masters and Presentation Slides and the back of the teacher manual has the web address, username, and password for these resources. Blackline Masters include cooperative-learning activities and enriched student learning and assessment tools. Presentation Slides are full-color visual aids and you can display these slides using a computer, overhead projector, and LCD projector. A reduced copy of the student workbook with answers is included in the back of each lesson.
The colorful, hardback Student Textbook provides engaging text for students to read. All scripture in the text is taken from the New Living Translation® version of the Bible. Unit One focuses on Worldview topics and Unit 2 includes Bible Survey lessons. Enjoyable Application Stories are interspersed throughout the text.
The consumable Student Workbook is in full color with perforated pages. After each daily lesson, students complete two pages in the workbook. Answers to the questions and activities are found in the student textbook or their Bible.
Families enjoy a very comprehensive and engaging Bible curriculum for middle school students with this program, covering topics that are relevant to this age group. ~ Gina
