There are 39 worksheets that have short answer questions and a different essay question for each section. The short answer questions ask the same six-questions, but view them from the different religions you are studying. There are 10 total quizzes that span all three of the volumes. Each quiz will identify what scope (volume) the quiz covers. Then, there is a test for each volume. Pgs. 151 | Paperback ~Rebecca

Publisher's Description of Comparative Religions Teacher Guide

The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Comparative Religions course, which includes:

  • An examination of over 50 world religious views, always with a focus on the Word of God as truth.
  • Weekly connections to the World Religions and Cults Generalized Timeline Chart with a church and denominational breakdown.
  • OVERVIEW: A world religion is a belief system that attempts to explain some aspect of reality and often how the physical and spiritual world operates, and yet it is independent of another world religion (though they often have different sects, cults, or denominations). A cult is typically defined as a religious offshoot of a major world religion that no longer holds to the core tenets of that world religion. This course cannot examine every world religion, cult, sect, or system, but quite a few have been selected from different belief systems, and these will be critiqued. Note: Because this course is very reading intensive, a teacher might evaluate specific chapters they would prefer to cover, or perhaps adjust the schedule provided to cover a two-year period.

    FEATURES: The calendar provides daily lessons with clear objectives and guided readings.

    Category Description for World Religions And Cults

    There are so many religions and cults in the world. How do you know where to begin trying to understand them? An introduction written by Bodie Hodge and Ken Ham in Volume 1, explains the criteria used to determine whether a belief system is false - there are only two categories, God's and Not God's. Those that are not of God, are of man. The first three chapters of Volume 1 are about defending the Christian faith and an explanation of Biblical Christianity.

    Each volume of this series is divided into chapters written by a broad range and variety of authors. Each chapter strives to give a brief history of that religion/cult and their basic beliefs. At the end of each chapter, a chart lists a summary of what is believed about God, Authority/Revelation, Man, Sin, Salvation, and Creation by that particular group. Belief systems are divided into categories, then placed in the appropriate book. The authors acknowledge that some of these could be in several categories, but they went with their best judgement. Volume 1 is Counterfeits of Christianity, Volume 2 is Moralistic, Mythical, and Mysticism Religions, and Volume 3 is Atheistic and Humanistic Religions.  

    As a general overview of belief systems, these could be used as a reference for comparative religion - a reference for your home library. Written from conservative protestant perspectives, you may not agree with all the comments found in this series, and may be offended by some of the authors' views.
