Introductory Course on Logic for our 5th/6th Grade Theology Class

When school reconvenes in January, I will be teaching our 5th and 6th Grade Theology Class some basic logic. I’ve been listening to podcasts and reading away to try to get myself ready for their questions. (Having never formally studied logic, I feel the weakness of my self-study and self-preparations. But I’m hoping I can stay at least one or two classes ahead of them.)

My confidence in this plan for our classes was bolstered this morning when I read this article by Pastor Kevin DeYoung:

More Arguments That Are Less Than Meets the Eye

In it, he not only summarizes some of the very arguments we will be studying, he concludes by stating:
 

“More and more, I’m convinced that one of the chief apologetic aims in our day is to get people to think. An introductory course on logic could really serve the cause of the gospel among younger generations.”

I couldn’t agree more.
