Melissa B Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I didn't realize Hewitt Publishing was a Christian Publisher. I just read their statement of faith. The first sentence states that they maintain a Christian perspective in all research and curriculum. So, how much Christian perspective is in the Lightning Literature guides? I didn't notice anything in the sample of LL7. Are the written assignments and discussion questions more focused on a Christian worldview? I noticed Hewitt uses Apologia, Abeka and a couple of history writers I would consider to have a very Christian-view for their other subjects. Is Lightning Literature similar?

Laura Corin Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 So far (we are half way through LL7) there has been no Christian reference at all. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can only remember 1 or 2 statements in passing in one of the student guides that refer to faith or Christianity, and it is within the context of what was being discussed, as I recall. From what I have read, the only LL that is overtly Christian is the high school guide: "Christian British Authors of the Late 19th - Early 20th Centuries", which specifically discusses those authors' Christian faith and the Christian worldview in their writings. We found LL7 and LL8 to be very enjoyable -- in fact, I'll be doing LL8 again this year with younger son in 9th grade, and am looking forward to it. : ) Enjoy! Warmest regards, Lori D.
