“The biblical story—the narrative of Scripture—is not just a great story. It’s the true story. It gives our young people understanding about life. It gives them purpose for life. It gives them hope for life. And it is the way they come to know their Creator who has done so much good for them now and wants to do good for them for all of eternity.”

Think Biblically
Every chapter includes direct instruction and discussion activities, often using Socratic questioning, to encourage students to think through life experiences from a biblical worldview.
Apply Knowledge
Designed for upper-level high school students, Biblical Worldview Beyond the Basics uses case studies, primary source analysis, apologetics activities, and mini-projects to apply biblical knowledge to challenging questions.
Define Objectives
New for the 2nd edition, each paragraph clearly relates to a defined objective connected to clear, digitally gradable assessment questions.

Biblical Worldview Educational Materials
Student Edition
With carefully designed objectives and chapter assessments, the Student Edition guides students through a deep look at biblical worldview and how it affects their interactions with the modern world.
The 2nd edition of Biblical Worldview Beyond the Basics is rewritten to ensure a clear, unbroken thread from objectives, to instruction, to assessments. With a BJU Press Trove site license for teachers, teachers have access to technology resources including online videos for nearly every lesson and webquests that send students digging deeper into worldview issues.
Teacher Edition
The Teacher Edition uses multiple teaching strategies to engage all learners. These strategies include quick write, Think-Pair- Share, data analysis, online video analysis, brainstorming, collaborative writing activities, and traditional lecture-and-response instruction.
Throughout the Teacher Edition, strategies are flagged for students to use in their end-of-the-year portfolio project. The Teacher Edition includes rubrics to help in grading the project. New for this edition, the teaching cycle is included, with activities for engagement, instruction, application, and assessment.
Assessments
