Understanding the Times
Teacher: Eileen Chapman
Grades: 10 - 12
Meets: Thursday 1:30 - 3:00
Class Description: “A battle is being waged for the hearts and minds of students---and the classroom is the battlefield!” Dr. David A. Noebel, president of Summit Ministries and author of Understanding the Times, prepares Christian young people to recognize “worldview bias” and form biblical answers to arguments they will encounter in all the subject areas of higher education. Two novels will also be used to give the students practice in recognizing worldviews. The students will write their own personal manifesto booklets as well as a comprehensive paper about the worldviews they have studied. This class may count as a history, philosophy, or extra credit on the high school transcript.
