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

Publisher's Description of Cultural Issues Volume 2: Creation & the Bible Pack

The Cultural Issues Volume 2 curriculum provides answers to many common objections to biblical worldviews and scriptural authority of the Bible. 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
  • Explore how to think logically and apply biblical knowledge correctly
  • Identify insights to the arguments brought against the faith and the solutions from the Bible and observational science
  • Learn answers, information, and strategies when facing destructive influences found in the workplace or school environments
  • Study cloning, abortion, GMOs, aliens, and more in these two volumes focused on points of contention related to the Bible, faith, and science

Cultural Issues Volume 2 is a stand-alone course and can be used as a follow up to Cultural Issues Volume 1. Adults and church groups will also find this study helpful as they face the challenges or parenting and discipling others.

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:

  • Offers solid answers to refute evolutionary rhetoric. Broken down into 33 chapters, you can just look up the topics that interest you or subjects for which you want answers. Pictures, charts, diagrams, and graphs help illustrate the topics being discussed.

Teacher Guide:

  • Provides a calendar for lesson planning with clear objectives, and the worksheets and tests are based on both knowledge accumulation and practical application.
