Description

Publisher's Description of Master Books Introduction to Logic Curriculum Pack

This Introduction to Logic homeschool curriculum will both challenge and inspire 8th to 10th grade students to defend their faith against atheists and skeptics alike. This biblical worldview course teaches methods that are reliable and effective in defending the truth of the Bible. Your students will grow in their ability to refute the untruths that evolutionists claim as fact.

Lessons can be completed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes and are scheduled five days a week.

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.

In this highly recommended course, Dr. Jason Lisle addresses topics such as these:

  • Why logic matters and who decides what is the "right" way to think?
  • If two people disagree on whether something is reasonable, who is correct?
  • The standard by which we judge a particular line of reasoning to be correct or incorrect?

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.

Course Components

  • Introduction to Logic (Student Text)
  • Introduction to Logic (Teacher Guide)
Category Description for Introduction to Logic

Written by a Christian astrophysicist and published by Master Books, Introduction to Logic is a philosophical and Biblical approach to logic, emphasizing informal fallacies. Rather than focusing on structuring an argument, this course focuses on the principles of correct reasoning. 

Written to the student, the Student Text grounds itself with the belief that there is a Biblical rationale to studying, that to think logically is to think like God, and that faith and reason go hand in hand. The book's first half builds a solid foundation by defining logic, then touches on key logic concepts, and then finally teaches 35 informal fallacies, divided by type: presumption, ambiguity, and relevance. Assignments include worksheets, assessments, and learning vocabulary using index cards. The student text highlights and defines each chapter's key terms. The consumable Teacher Guide includes a weekly schedule with space for recording, student worksheets, quiz and test answer keys. 

Reproducible for family use. Solid individually or as a set. A solid logic overview course rooted in Biblical foundations.
