treestarfae Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 What would be considered the most conservative or liberal in christian curriculum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I haven't used it, but I always assumed Landmark Freedom Baptist Curriculum would be pretty conservative. After that, I think of Rod & Staff, Abeka, and Bob Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Could you narrow down, perhaps, your goals for the curriculum and share them? One man's "conservative" is another man's "liberal". Protestant curricula usually don't appeal to Catholic and/or Orthodox Christians, just as Catholic curricula generally don't appeal to Protestants and/or Orthodox Christians. Just thinking aloud. . .

G5052 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Conservative has a lot of different flavors. Rod and Staff, Christian Light, BJUP, A Beka, and Veritas Press come to mind, but they're different in approach and doctrine. Sonlight and Tapestery of Grace are Christian, but are designed for the family to insert their own beliefs and priorities. Sonlight is sometimes used by secular homeschoolers by dropping certain books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishboneDawn Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't think there is a liberal curriculum. Liberal Christians tend to use secular materials. Of course, remembering a past thread even the term "Conservative" is problematic. Most Christian curriculum I see isn't really conservative but rather fundamentalist or creationist.

Daisy Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Conservative Christian usually means they take the Bible literally. Under that broader category you will find creationists and fundamentalists. Doctrine is a big deal though. Under conservative Christian (again, Bible literalists) you will find two BIG categories... Free Will... Landmark Baptist Rod and Staff CLE Abeka BJU Reformed/Calvinistic... Veritas Press Christian Liberty Press These are publishers that make no apology for clearly defining what they believe. I'm sure there are many others.

MissKNG Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Rod & Staff and A beka as conservative. Not sure about liberal because my definition of liberal is different than others and I don't want to start a "controversy"!
