New Homeschool Course on Science and Christianity

New Homeschool Course on Science and Christianity

Isn’t it tough for homeschooling parents to discern how to address the relationship between science and faith? So many homeschool resources on science and faith promote only one side of the issues. In the minefield of the science/religion debate, homeschool families need resources that portray the range of Christian views in a gracious way. And Christian young people need a resource that will equip them to think clearly, broadly, and biblically about current hot topics in science and religion.

Test of FAITH’s new homeschool course takes a thought-provoking look at the different challenges that science poses to faith. The free course is designed for use with the award-winning documentary, Test of FAITH (available from Wipf and Stock for $14.40). The DVD features eminent scientists who are also committed Christians, discussing the big questions:

Are science and Christianity in conflict?
Has the Big Bang pushed God out of the universe?
Is evolution incompatible with faith?
What are our responsibilities in caring for the environment?
Is cloning ethical?
Are humans no more than biological machines?

The three- to eight-week Introductory Course for Homeschoolers delves into these questions and more.

Includes ready-to-use lessons (no lesson preparation required)
Features study notes, key vocabulary, follow-up questions, and essay topics
Provides a general introduction to the philosophy of science and religion
Emphasizes personal engagement and reflection
Gives opportunity for more in-depth exploration of current issues
Geared for high school students and advanced junior high students
Designed to be flexible so families can fit it into their schedules

We hope that the homeschool course will help young people think critically through scientific and theological issues so that they can be informed citizens and clear witnesses in contemporary society.

Praise for the course:

“Very useful and absolutely worthwhile.” —Homeschooling Parent

“Not only focuses students' attention on the important science/faith questions raised by the film, but provides parents and other educators with a flexible framework that can be adapted for a range of grade-levels and schedules. This curriculum could be used at home or in co-op and academy settings, helping young people get the big picture of why Christians need to study, understand and be engaged in science. An important and timely resource for homeschoolers.” —Dr. Mark Sprinkle, Senior Fellow of Arts and Humanities & Senior Web Editor, BioLogos, and Homeschooler
