Faith for Life
Elevate Your High School Bible Class
The Understanding the Times Series comprehensively covers the biblical worldview, the Great Commission, understanding competing worldviews, and how to engage today’s culture and defend the faith with sound biblical theology and powerful apologetics. The Understanding the Times Series invites students to become informed disciples and does not shy away from difficult subjects. It assists teachers in creating an environment where biblical teaching and lively discussion equips students to influence their generation for Christ.
Each year includes numerous individual and group activities as well as supplemental videos from worldview experts. The Understanding the Times Series builds upon Summit’s elementary and middle school curriculum series—Building on the Rock and Walking in Truth—to deepen students’ knowledge of the biblical worldview and their ability to engage in further comparative worldview studies.

Understanding the Times Series
Foundations
In Foundations, the first of our four-volume set, we embark on a journey delving into the very essence of Christian belief, updated and meticulously crafted for today’s students. Covering the nature and authority of the Bible, the profound narrative woven within its pages, and the core tenets of Christian living, Foundations equips students with a profound understanding of the Bible’s metanarrative and its implications for personal and communal life.
Apologetics
In Apologetics, this second of our four-volume set, we provide guidance for defending and commending the Christian faith to others. It also demonstrates how the Christian worldview stands up to common objections to it in society today.
Worldview
In Worldview, this third of our four-volume set, we explore the Christian worldview compared to five other worldviews while examining their answers to life’s biggest questions in areas like ethics, history, philosophy, politics, biology, and more. Worldview surveys today’s major worldviews of secularism, Marxism, postmodernism, new spirituality, and Islam compared to Christianity.
