Description Product Details Reviews (0) Foundations in Faith Israel Wayne Foundations in Faith offers homeschool families a simplified study of biblical doctrines to help teens and preteens learn the foundational truths that will guide them for the rest of their lives. This Bible elective course focuses on the teachings of Scripture. Your student will learn the primary doctrines; the basics on which all true Christians believe. Secondary doctrines (those that do not impact salvation) are not addressed in this course. Foundations in Faith offers an overview of systematic theology using the Bible, the ultimate authority, with creeds, confessions, and catechisms as helpful tools. Many of the creeds and confessions were written by church councils who were seeking to correct errors that had arisen in the church. Catechisms use a question-and-answer format to teach a summary of the principles.
