Bible 6: Basics of a Biblical Worldview
Basics of a Biblical Worldview is a middle school level course that builds on the foundational knowledge from Bible 4 and 5 to help your kids begin formulating a biblical worldview. This textbook will help facilitate conversations with your child about major cultural and spiritual issues. You may feel uncomfortable talking about some of these topics with your children. However, these are the issues that twelve- to thirteen-year-olds are likely to encounter. We believe that carefully talking about difficult topics from a biblical worldview is one way to help children embrace truth. This book is an excellent tool for addressing these issues in an appropriate, direct, and God-honoring way and for preparing your kids to stand against sin, equipped with God’s Truth.

This course is a high-school-level discussion of a biblical worldview. Biblical Worldview examines science, the arts, government, gender, and history through the lens of Scripture. All courses prior to this textbook that teach Scripture are foundational to the biblical worldview presented in this book. Instead of critiquing false worldviews, this course aims to develop a faith-centered worldview in your children. This course is intended for either Grade 11 or 12.
This Bible curriculum begins with biblical theology and the study of Scriptural accounts in their context. As students grow in their understanding of Scripture, they are prepared to apply their knowledge to different areas of life. They will also be ready to understand Bible doctrines which require knowledge of the whole context of Scripture. We hope this Bible curriculum helps foster a deep relationship with Christ in your children and equips them to share the gospel with others.
