Uses examples taken from history and recent events to motivate students, to apply Scripture to issues that are crucial to their spiritual growth. Apologetics is interwoven throughout the textbook, equipping students to defend the foundational teachings of the Bible against competing worldviews. At the same time, the framework of Creation, Fall and Redemption enables students to make distinctively Christian contributions to their culture. Uses the ESV translation of the Bible (not KJV). Soft bound, 473 pages.
