units are arranged according to major literary periods. The
material provided through the unit introductions, headnotes,

and their works in a historical and cultural context. Such analysis
serves to broaden the student's world, enabling him to understand
the ideas and writings of noted literary and historical figures
and to apply biblical criteria when evaluating the beliefs espoused
by such figures. The questions for thought and discussion which
follow the selections progress from factual to evaluative and
are valuable both for class discussion and for providing students
with an opportunity to develop further literary and moral discernment. |
