Hello, my name is Jonathan Swirsky. I am a worldview teacher and youth pastor in Houston. I am developing my own 4-year curriculum called Worldview & You that covers Biblical Worldview, History, Literature, and Humanities. I have completed the first year of curriculum and tested it out with my own classes. I received overwhelmingly positive feedback on the curriculum. I feel very passionately that anyone raising their child to be a follower of Jesus Christ needs to teach their children why they believe what they believe. The best way to do so is in the context of history and lite

Hi all. I couldn't fine much in a search so was wondering if anybody has used David Quine's material and could give input. Hubby is a theologian and is not particularly impressed w/the theology in most homeschool curriculums. He's a big fan of Francis Schaeffer and thinks any church history program should include a study of Augustine (among other things) so I'm trying to find something to fit. Omnibus may do this but I don't know if we're up for it:) DD will be in 9th next year and our co-op offers Starting Points. My main concern w/Quine's material is that there doesn't seem to be much h -
Christian Worldview Curriculums.... Tell me about your favorite and least favorite... I'd like to know for personal as well as for thinking about church situations. (Youth group and such...) I've been thinking about this for the last few weeks, how it shouldn't be a dividing line between those who homeschool and don't. How all of us who are Christian Parents, should want to teach our children what a Christian Worldview looks like. Thanks!:D -
Hello all, I'm interested in my Sophomore doing some study of Worldviews this fall. However, I'm completely overwhelmed by the materials available. My primary concern is I would like a course that expands his thinking and helps him discern viewpoints and and where they are coming from. I do not want to use materials that attempts to indoctrinate a certain viewpoint. We are Christian, but in our particular tradition the viewpoints on issues are wildly varied. Although we don't necessarily agree with all the viewpoints, I would like for him to have understanding on why people think as th -
My rising 9th grader is very interested in history and political science. I think a Worldview course would be a good foundation for his high school electives. I'd like to do it with reading living books, lots of discussion, and writing a few papers. Has anyone made a list of books to read on worldviews? I hesitate to buy a worldview "curriculum" because of the assignments. With me working so much "assignments" would be extra work. I think the real meat of defining his worldview will be best done with reading and discussing anyway. Of course, a "curriculum" would give us questions t -
Academic Work and Worldview

If you don't like the word "worldview", you can substitute the word "bias" if you want - as in everyone has a bias whether they realize it or not. I hope that I can type this out coherently. I'm wondering how someone should handle writing papers that call for interpretations or conclusions. If someone's bias is the same as the reader - esp. if the reader is the one grading it;) - then it is easy. The reader doesn't even notice the bias because it is "self evident" to them. If students go to public school, they tend to inherit the biases taught there, at least that seems often to be the ca -
I wish I could change the the title to this thread to: Are Worldview courses even needed? I am getting more and more confused about Worldview curriculum for my 15 yo dd. Okay, there is one that I own, Thinking Like a Christian (mostly about how to do just what it says with not much on other views), Lightbearers (has much more info on how other worldviews other than Christianity see the 10 disciplines), and Understanding the Times which is the most detailed of all 3. These are from Summit Ministries. There is also Starting Points and the follow up courses for that. And there's Te

It came a few months ago when I was reading a book on Paganism (my religion). The author made the case for Paganism being a worldview of it's own, quoting the German philosopher who coined the term. That set my gears spinning, but this week's conversations with my children have put a log on the fire. (The totally analogy here is steam train. Just sayin'.) I want to teach it more intentionally. Is there anyone else out there trying to teach worldview without the Christian materials available? Or maybe using them but coming from a non-Christian perspective? -
We got a lot out of the LB course from Summit. In fact, I think it ended up being the most important and beneficial course we did this year. I'm looking ahead to next year and wondering whether there is a worldview or Christian thinking book or course that would make a good follow-up to LB? LB is meant for grade 8 and we'd like to do the next Summit course by grade 10 or 11. We'll be using TOG year 4 next year as well. -
These are the world view books from Ambleside Online. I haven't read any of them and thought I should start thinking about that. My dd is 6th this year but I am trying to sort out which books are important to cover and which are not. There are SO MANY!!:001_smile: What do you think of these world view books and which do you consider important to include? Also, I was planning on having dd read these later in highschool (like 10th and up). Thanks to all for your opinions and advice. Books to consider are: War of the Worldviews by Gary DeMar Postmodern Times by Gene Edward Veith
