Product Description:
The New Answers Book 3 (13th printing) and Book 4 (7th printing) serve as the key components of this creationist apologetics-style course from Master Books. Each book follows an anthology approach: a compilation of articles written in response to questions posed (to authors who include pastors, scientists, and Answers in Genesis staff. Find their short bios in the back of each volume). Students are exposed to a variety of writing styles and scientific evidence. Each volume covers key points in areas of creation, interpretation of Biblical truth, evolutionary theory, and more. Daily reading assignments can vary from a couple pages to close to 20. As students read each article, working from 30-50 minutes daily, students will write short essay answers to 4 study questions. Although there’s not an obvious discernible pattern in the organization of topics, some highlights in Book 3 include the missing link, the flood, cosmology, causes of global warming, earth age, and more. Book 4 speaks on climate change, dragons, transitional forms in the fossil record, and more. The publisher interprets this course as a 1 credit apologetics credit (5 days/week for 179 days) with 2 end-of-semester tests. For students who are up for more challenge and desire to cover content in all 4 books in The New Answers series, combine this study with the companion Cultural Issues Vol 1 curriculum. Note that the volume numbers don’t indicate a thematic order to content. The Teacher Guide includes the student daily question sheets reproducible for immediate household only and the answers (when applicable) for all daily work and tests. ~ Ruth

Practical reviews are included to strengthen the student’s grasp of key concepts and terms, while providing critical thinking opportunities to put their knowledge to work. Students will learn to apply the biblical worldview to subjects such as evolution, climate change, Noah’s Ark and the Flood, and dozens more. They will discover answers to help know the depths of God’s wisdom found in His Word and in His world, and why this matters to in their lives, their family, and their faith.
Students will:
- Investigate some of the most popular cultural questions about science and Bible

New Answers Book 3:
- Addresses tough topics thoughtfully discussed (global warming, cloning, stem cells, and more) teaching you to "be more effective in defense of scriptural authority and truth of Genesis as literal history."
New Answers Book 4:

This is a mature course that can be beneficial not only to teenagers, but to adults as well. Yet it is not overwhelming for the high schoolers.
I like the way the teacher guide was designed. There is enough space between questions to add the answers, and I like this style over the one with lines.
The material is rich and includes biblically based science. Wonderful source for the teenagers to be prepared to face the real world and be able to defend their faith. I received this set in an exchange for my honest review.
